A lasting symbol of friendship, history and partnership. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 His Majesty’s Ambassador to the United States presented a bespoke large format commemorative coin at Blair House on Monday, produced by The Royal Mint as part of the United Kingdom’s contribution to America’s 250th anniversary commemorations. Around the edge, the coin records the succession of American Presidents and British Monarchs since 1776, including Queen Elizabeth II and His Majesty King Charles III, reinforcing a story of continuity, shared history and enduring ties across generations. From the portrait of His Majesty The King to the high relief American eagle emerging on the reverse, every detail tells a story of independence, partnership and the values that continue to unite our two nations. #America250 #GreaterTogether #UKUS #StateVisit2026 #RoyalMint The Royal Family The White House Monica Crawley

A passion for empowering young people does not stop at national borders. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh visited WesternHighSchool1844 in Baltimore, the oldest all-girls public high school in the United States, as it becomes a new partner of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award USA (The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award). The Duke has long championed young people, education and the value of experiences beyond the classroom. That same commitment brings him to schools like Western, where students will now have more opportunities to build confidence, leadership, resilience and practical skills through the Award. Western High School is one of seven Baltimore City Public Schools partnering with the programme, helping expand access to non-formal education across the city. Our countries are linked by shared values, shared sacrifice and shared opportunity, and by a belief in giving the next generation the tools to thrive. #GreaterTogether #DofE #YouthEmpowerment #UKinUSA #America250 The Royal Family

From Washington to the great American outdoors. 🌲🇺🇸🇬🇧 King Charles III visited Shenandoah National Park today, celebrating a shared love of nature and conservation. ⛰️ Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah is part of an ancient landscape once joined to the Scottish Highlands, linking the UK and U.S. through a shared mountain range millions of years in the making. From meeting Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, National Park Service staff, Junior Rangers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service historians, to spending time with Buddy the Eagle and leaders of the Monacan Indian Nation, the visit reflects the natural beauty, living history, and deep connections that make this place so meaningful. #GreaterTogether #America250 #StateVisit2026 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ShenandoahNPS U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceHistory

We're not usually ones to celebrate British Army defectors - but for George Washington we make an exception! The first Commander and first President profoundly shaped the DNA of America, and today, a quarter of a millennium later, it is a country we are proud to call our closest friend. Which is why we were honoured to attend the rededication of Washington’s statue, back in its rightful place in Trafalgar Square, in the heart of London. At the event Glenn Youngkin, Governor of Virginia, USA, said: "Rededicating the gift of the George Washington statue from the Commonwealth of Virginia to the UK is a powerful reminder of the deep relationship between our two great nations.”

A bell with history, humour and meaning. 🔔🇬🇧🇺🇸 At the White House State Dinner, His Majesty King Charles III presented President Trump with the original bell from HMS Trump, a British submarine launched in 1944 during the Second World War. Once hung on the submarine’s conning tower, the polished brass bell stands as a reminder of our nations’ shared wartime history and enduring alliance. As His Majesty said: “May it stand as a testimony to our nations’ shared history and shining future. And should you ever need to get hold of us, well, just give us a ring!” From history to partnership, the UK/US relationship continues to ring true. #StateVisit2026 #GreaterTogether #America250 #UKUS Restbet Sabit Giriş #2026

Her Majesty Queen Camilla concluded the State Visit by championing equine welfare. At 93, Mrs. Backer runs not only a horse breeding farm, but also a sanctuary where retired racehorses are cared for and given the chance to live full, happy lives. Here, The Queen met with leading equine welfare experts dedicated to horse care, rehabilitation, and safety. The love of racing runs deep on both sides of the Atlantic, and so does our shared commitment to the wellbeing of horses in the sport.

Tea first. Competition second. 🇬🇧🇳🇴☕⚽️ Following some scary moments with Erling Haaland and Harry Kane this week, Ambassador Christian Turner visited Norwegian Ambassador Anniken Huitfeldt at Norwegian Embassy in Washington ahead of tonight’s World Cup quarter-final. After raising a proper cup of tea and joining in an (ancient?) Norwegian rowing tradition, one thing was clear: the alliance remains strong, even when the football rivalry heats up. Good luck, Norway, you’ll need it. #ENGNOR #Haaland #Kane #WorldCup2026 Christian Turner
