King Charles State Visit to US to Go on as Planned After Shooting

The state visit by Britain's King Charles III to the US would take place as planned, Buckingham Palace said on Sunday, following a shooting at a Washington media gala. 

The incident late Saturday at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents' Association came less than 48 hours before Charles and Queen Camilla begin a four-day state visit to the United



States. 

The palace said that Charles was "greatly relieved" that Trump, his wife Melania and other guests were unharmed and later on Sunday said the trip would go on as planned.

"The King and Queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case and are looking forward to the Visit getting underway tomorrow," it said.
