Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla will travel to the United States for a state visit in late April, Buckingham Palce confirmed on Tuesday.

Details of the trip have not been released, but according to the BBC, it will be the first visit to the U.S. by a British monarch since 2007, when the king’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, traveled across the Atlantic Ocean for the last of her four state visits.

The trip will include a visit to Washington, D.C., and the king is expected to meet with President Donald Trump.

“Their Majesties’ programme will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the UK and the US, marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

Charles, 77, is expected to make an address to Congress and attend events marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, according to The Guardian. The king’s great-great-great-great grandfather, George III, was sovereign when the American colonies declared their independence from England.

Charles III will also make his first trip to Bermuda as king, traveling without Camilla, the newspaper reported.

Trump visited the United Kingdom in September, The Associated Press reported.

Charles III has visited the U.S. 19 times as the Prince of Wales, the AP reported.
