During his visit, the King will receive a formal ceremonial welcome, including a 21-gun salute. His itinerary also includes engagements with Commonwealth athletes and the official opening of the Great Bay Coast Guard Station located on St David’s Island.
This marks the first time King Charles III has visited a British Overseas Territory since becoming monarch, and it is also the first-ever visit by a reigning king to Bermuda.
The visit follows a four-day state trip to the United States, where the King and Queen took part in several high-profile engagements.
These included attending a state dinner, visiting the 9/11 Memorial, and delivering an address to the US Congress, making King Charles only the second British monarch to do so.
At the conclusion of the US visit, the King was seen off at Joint Base Andrews by Donald Trump. While the King has now travelled on to Bermuda, Queen Camilla is expected to remain in the United States for the time being.
During the visit, President Trump praised the monarch and also announced plans to remove tariffs on Scottish whisky as a gesture linked to the royal visit, highlighting potential benefits for Scotland’s whisky industry as well as bourbon producers in Kentucky. In response, Buckingham Palace indicated that the King would mark the occasion by ‘raising a dram.’
