King Charles to proceed with US trip despite security concerns – POLITICO

Buckingham Palace said King Charles III’s state visit to the U.S. this week will proceed as planned despite security concerns raised by Saturday’s shooting in Washington at a dinner attended by U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Following discussions on both sides of the Atlantic through the day, and acting on advice of Government, we can confirm the State Visit by Their Majesties will proceed as planned,” the Palace said in a statement Sunday evening. King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to fly to the U.S. on Monday.

The Palace said in an earlier statement Sunday that the King was being “kept fully informed” and was “greatly relieved” that Trump and other dignitaries at the gala dinner in the U.S. capital Saturday night were unharmed.
