The state visit by Britain’s King Charles III to the U.S. would take place as planned, Buckingham Palace said on Sunday (April 26, 2026), following a shooting at a Washington media gala.
The incident late on Saturday (April 25) at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association came less than 48 hours before King Charles and Queen Camilla begin a four-day state visit to the United States.
