King Charles has begun his three-day royal trip to Bermuda hours after completing his state visit to the US.

The King landed in Bermuda on Thursday evening and was officially welcomed today with a ceremony full of pomp and pageantry. Charles stood in the heart of the British overseas territory’s former capital St George’s for the event watched by hundreds of school children and islanders.

It comes after the US President announced he would remove tariffs on Scottish whisky, prompting Buckingham Palace to say the King would toast him with a dram. Mr Trump said it was Charles and Camilla’s intervention that prompted the important decision.

The King and Queen thanked the US for the welcome they received in a message on X, which read: “We leave a piece of our heart behind and take a little of yours back home with us. Until the next time… God Bless America.”
