This is the most welcoming ceremony that the Trump administration has put together for any foreign leader.
On Tuesday, President Trump and First Lady Melania welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the White House.
As the King and Queen of England arrived at the White House, they were welcomed by Marines, a band, and even Red Coats!

NBC News reported more on King Charles’ arrival and what his plans are:
Charles and Camilla have arrived at the White House for a welcome ceremony to kick off a day of festivities. They were greeted by Trump and the first lady, who had walked to the end of a red carpet and stood side by side.
After Charles and Camilla exited the car, the king shook hands with Trump, who laughed at something he said. He greeted the queen next as Charles greeted the first lady.
There was a little confusion over where the king would stand; he went to one side of Camilla first and then stood in the middle with Trump. They exchanged a few words and then stood to pose for a photo.
As they stood, a military band performed the national anthems of the United Kingdom and the United States.
Later today, Charles will deliver an address to Congress.
