Britain's monarchs are landing in New York City this week, marking the start of a four-day trip that celebrates 250 years of UK-US ties. King Charles III and Queen Camilla touch down in the Big Apple on Wednesday, having recently wrapped up a Washington D.C. visit where the king addressed Congress and met with President Trump.

Busy nyc itinerary ahead

The royal couple's NYC schedule is packed, starting with a poignant visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. They'll pay respects to first responders and families of victims ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks.

Splitting up for a bit, Queen Camilla heads to the New York City Public Library to celebrate shared literary loves between the two nations. She'll donate a 'Roo' doll to the library's collections - a character from 'Winnie-the-Pooh', which is marking its 100th anniversary.

Meanwhile, King Charles III visits a Harlem-based community group tackling food insecurity and green spaces for community members.

Later, the royals reunite at Rockefeller Center before attending a reception for the King's Trust, which focuses on youth unemployment and quality education.
