King Charles III and Queen Camilla departed the United States on April 30, 2026, concluding their official state visit [1], [2].
The visit served as a high-level diplomatic engagement between the United Kingdom and the U.S., reinforcing bilateral ties through a series of formal meetings and commemorative events.
The royal couple boarded a flight to Bermuda [3] from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland [4]. This departure marked the end of a scheduled four-day trip [1] that included high-profile engagements across the region.
During the visit, the King and Queen participated in meetings at the White House and visited Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath [5], [6]. These activities were part of a broader itinerary designed to strengthen the "special relationship" between the two nations.
While some reports noted the couple's return to the Washington, D.C. area for the final day of the trip [7], the official departure took place from the military installation in Maryland [4]. The transition from the U.S. to Bermuda follows the completion of all planned diplomatic obligations in North America.
The state visit concluded on Thursday [2], following the completion of the royal couple's itinerary. The flight to Bermuda represents the next leg of their travel schedule after the four-day stay [1].

The completion of this state visit underscores the continued prioritization of Anglo-American relations. By balancing formal political meetings at the White House with symbolic gestures at Arlington National Cemetery, the monarchy reinforces cultural and historical bonds that complement official government diplomacy.
