Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla commemorated victims of the 11 September, 2001, an al Qaeda attack on New York City on Wednesday, laying a floral bouquet at the memorial where the World Trade Centre's twin towers once stood.
Charles laid a bouquet of white lilacs, daffodils and peonies on the bronze parapet surrounding the pool, engraved with the names of those killed in the attack.
The three stood silently before heading into a canopy to meet with guests including relatives of some of the nearly 2,800 people killed in New York that day.
The King also spoke with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the ceremony and met the governors of New York and New Jersey.
The previous evening featured a state banquet, an aircraft flyover at the White House, and a speech by the King to Congress.
During his address at the state dinner, President Donald Trump described the history and bond between the U.S. and UK as “a friendship unlike any other on Earth,” and also praised golfer Rory McIlroy, who was in attendance.
The King responded with a speech, joking about White House renovations and Winston Churchill.
Britain's King Charles told the U.S. Congress that despite an age of uncertainty and conflict in Europe and the Middle East, the UK and the U.S. will always be staunch allies united in defending democracy, at a time of deep divisions between the two long-time allies over the war with Iran.
King Charles promoted the importance of protecting the environment.
On Tuesday morning, the royals received a ceremonial welcome at the White House, where President Trump staged a military display for the King and Queen, including gun salutes and bugle calls.
The visit marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence from British rule, and is the first to the country by a British monarch in two decades.
