King Charles and Queen Camilla Wrap Up U.S. Visit with Day in New York

King Charles III and Queen Camilla concluded the final full day of their state visit to the United States with a busy schedule in New York City on Wednesday.

The royal couple began the day by paying their respects at the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan. Later, they split up for separate engagements: Queen Camilla visited the New York Public Library to promote child literacy, reading from A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh to a group of children. Meanwhile, King Charles traveled to Harlem, where he toured a community organization and even fed chickens.

The day ended with a celebration of the King's Trust charity's 50th anniversary at Rockefeller Center. Global ambassador Lionel Richie spoke at the event, honoring the charity's work supporting young people.

The visit marked a historic trip for the monarch, who also addressed the U.S. Congress and attended a state dinner hosted by President Donald Trump earlier in the week.
