Queen Camilla did not join King Charles III on his flight to Bermuda after their state visit to America. She expressed a strong dislike for flying and prefers to minimize her time in the air.
During the visit, King Charles addressed a joint session of Congress, earning bipartisan standing ovations. The royal couple participated in several events, including a garden party and a gala dinner.
As of midday, Queen Camilla was spotted at a US airport ahead of her commercial flight back to the UK. She mentioned feeling jet lagged upon arriving in America due to the five-hour time difference with the UK.
This marks Queen Camilla’s first trip to New York City since 1999, when she aimed to build public acceptance after Princess Diana’s death. Throughout his life, King Charles III has made a total of 24 visits to the United States.
In her own words, Queen Camilla said, “I’m slightly jet lagged.” This reflects her ongoing challenge with travel fatigue, particularly during extensive royal engagements.
Donald Trump praised King Charles during the visit, calling him “the greatest King in my book… an elegant man with a beautiful accent.” Such remarks highlight the diplomatic nature of their interactions.
The next expected development involves how both royals will manage their respective schedules moving forward amidst these travel preferences.
