King Charles arrives in Washington for state visit fraught with tension

The British monarch and Queen Camilla come to a city still reeling from shooting at dinner attended by Trump

King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Monday for a state visit in Washington, a city still rattled by a weekend shooting and a transatlantic alliance showing fresh signs of strain.

British flags could be seen lining lamp-posts outside the White House, where Donald Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were set to host the royals for a private tea and a tour of the newly expanded White House beehive on the south lawn.
