The embassy event echoed a rare royal appearance in America — the last comparable garden party there dates to 1939 — and highlighted the couple's charity links, with Queen Camilla speaking to Michelle DeLaune of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The state visit continues April 28 with a rare address to a joint meeting of Congress and a White House state dinner, followed by New York engagements including the 9/11 memorial and further events in Virginia. After a recent shooting incident, officials confirmed the visit would proceed, and the King and Queen spoke privately with the Trumps ahead of the public schedule.
