WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump rolled out the red carpets to welcome King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom at the South Porticos of the White House on April 27.

The king and queen landed at Joint Base Andrews—where U.S. military personnel greeted them with a playing of both nations’ national anthems—before departing in a 29-car convoy of black vehicles headed to the White House on a four-day visit to the United States, coinciding with the country’s semiquincentennial celebration.
