King Charles III Schedules Post-U.S. Trip to Bermuda

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III is scheduled for a special island getaway immediately following his upcoming state visit to the United States. This trip to Bermuda will be a historic occasion, marking the very first time a reigning King has visited the island.

While the Palace has not yet released specific dates for the U.S. or Bermuda legs of the tour, the itinerary is beginning to take shape. The visit aims to highlight the enduring historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the U.K. and the U.S.

Details of the U.S. State Visit

The King and Queen Consort are expected to attend a significant event during their time in the States. Specifically, President Trump noted that Their Majesties will be guests of honor at a “beautiful banquet dinner at the White House” scheduled for the 28th.

President Trump expressed his anticipation for the royal arrival on social media. He stated, “I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I greatly respect. It will be TERRIFIC!” This visit occurs amidst ongoing international tensions, including the conflict in Iran.

Historic Solo Visit to Bermuda

Following the U.S. engagement, King Charles “will continue to Bermuda,” according to palace sources. This solo stop is highly significant for the island nation.

Bermuda’s government briefly shared a graphic on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting the monarch would be there from April 30 through May 2, though this was later deleted. The official government account later shared a new announcement confirming the visit, though without dates.

Significance of the Royal Tour

The planned visit to Bermuda is intended to “celebrate the many contributions Bermudians make in their communities, the wider British family in Bermuda and around the world.”

This will be King Charles’s second visit to the island; he previously traveled there in 1970 when he was 21 years old. For context, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s most recent visit to Bermuda took place in 2009.

Further details regarding the precise dates for both the U.S. and Bermuda engagements are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
