Britain's King Charles is scheduled to speak before the U.S. Congress on April 28, during a visit to Washington. House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed this in a Wednesday statement.

The royal visit, which includes Queen Camilla, is part of a long-planned trip to mark the 250th anniversary of America's independence from British rule. Buckingham Palace announced that the royal couple will also visit Bermuda.

This will be the first state visit by a British monarch since 2007 when Queen Elizabeth made her fourth U.S. trip. Donald Trump noted that the visit would start with a banquet dinner at the White House on April 27.
