As part of King Charles III's ongoing 2026 US state visit, first lady Melania Trump hosted the royals for a private tea at the White House following their arrival. Melania wore a pale yellow Adam Lippes skirt suit, while Queen Camilla opted for a white dress with cobalt blue embroidery.
Following their landing at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on April 27—where they received an official welcome with flowers, anthems, and greetings from US and UK officials—King Charles and Queen Camilla began their four-day itinerary honoring America's 250th anniversary with a private tea hosted by President Donald Trump and Melania Trump.
The first lady chose a pared-back pale yellow Adam Lippes skirt suit with matching snakeskin heels, echoing the subtle yellow from her prior meeting with Queen Elizabeth II in the UK last September. Queen Camilla complemented the occasion in a white mid-length dress featuring cobalt blue embroidery along the V-neckline.
The visit, the first by a British monarch in two decades, includes King Charles addressing Congress—the first such speech since Elizabeth II in 1991—a state dinner, and trips to New York (9/11 Memorial and meeting Mayor Zohran Mamdani) and Virginia for an 'America at 250 block party.' Amid prior contexts like the White House Correspondents' dinner shooting and US-UK tensions over Iran, the trip proceeds as planned.
