King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the 9/11 Memorial and other New York City landmarks on Tuesday as part of their ongoing U.S. trip. The royal couple paid their respects at the memorial, which honors the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. They also toured other iconic sites in the city, including Times Square and the Statue of Liberty.
Royal Visit Highlights
The visit to the 9/11 Memorial was a poignant moment during their tour. The king and queen laid a wreath at the memorial pool and met with first responders and family members of victims. Earlier in the day, they attended a reception at the British Consulate General in New York.
Previous Engagements in Washington
The royal couple arrived in the U.S. last week, starting their visit in Washington, D.C. They met with President and Mrs. Carney at the White House, where they toured the South Lawn and viewed the White House bee hive. They also attended a state dinner and held meetings with U.S. officials on climate change and trade.
Upcoming Events
King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to visit Boston later this week, where they will participate in events focused on environmental sustainability and youth leadership. The trip aims to strengthen bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and the United States.
