Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla are in the United States today for a four-day state visit marking the year of the 250th anniversary of US independence. The trip comes amid strained relations between London and Washington, after Britain resisted pressure to support US and Israeli strikes on Iran. The visit is being closely watched in London, where officials may be hoping it will help ease tensions between US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
