Prince William to play key role supporting King Charles’ upcoming US visit

White House – Prince William is expected to take on a key role as King Charles prepares to become the first British monarch to visit the United States in nearly 20 years. Speculation about the historic trip grew after the royal family hosted President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump during an unprecedented second state visit in September. Trump has openly praised the royal family and expressed enthusiasm about welcoming the monarch to the US.

• King Charles is likely to visit the US in April, becoming the first British monarch in 20 years.

According a report by the Times, advanced talks are under way, and a source said that it was “highly likely” that King Charles would make the trip in April.

Apart from the king, Prince William will be making a trip of his own to the US as a “two-pronged charm offensive” strategy. The Prince of Wales will be making a visit North America when the US hosts the football FIFA World Cup with Canada and Mexico.

Both visits will coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence and as discussions continue between Britain and the United States over formalising a trade deal.

The £31bn deal, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is currently on pause but Downing Street hopes that the royals could turn the tide in their favour.

Formal invitations from the White House are still pending and William’s plans are not yet confirmed.

However, it is possible that the plans are made so that William remains in the US during the Independence Day celebrations. This could mean that he could make it to the White House and meet with the president along with his father.
