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

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 UK Defence Staff in US

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.

A taste of royal celebration arrives in Front Royal. 👑🇬🇧🇺🇸 Our Embassy Chef is bringing a Coronation Quiche to the potluck today along with a beautiful layered Elderflower and Strawberry Victoria Sandwich cake. A smaller version of the cake was served as tea cakes during our Garden Party with Their Majesties on Monday, creating a sweet connection between these State Visit moments. 🍰 A British touch for a celebration of community, hospitality, and the people-to-people ties that make us #GreaterTogether. Royal Chef Mark Flanagan created the Coronation Quiche recipe for King Charles III’s Coronation last year. #America250 #StateVisit2026 #FrontRoyal #BritishEmbassy

Happy International Tea Day! 🫖🇬🇧🇺🇸 🎬 During our first filming with His Majesty’s Ambassador Sir Christian Turner, the camera team ventured into British diplomacy’s highest-stakes arena: tea-making. His reaction to the cup they made for him was very diplomatic. Lesson learned: HMA takes his tea strong, with the tiniest drop of milk. In honour of International Tea Day, tell us: how do you take yours? ☕️ #InternationalTeaDay #UKUS #BritishEmbassy #TeaTime #GreaterTogether Christian Turner
