The visit follows a warm departure from Washington, where Charles and Camilla were seen off by President Donald Trump. The arrival was marked by a positive diplomatic note, as the King landed shortly after the President announced the removal of tariffs on Scottish whisky — a gesture the Palace noted would be toasted with a traditional dram.
The royal aircraft, flying both the Royal Standard and the flag of Bermuda, touched down at LF Wade International Airport at dusk. The King was met on the tarmac by Governor Andrew Murdoch alongside Premier David Burt and his wife, Kristin, while a Guard of Honour from the Royal Bermuda Regiment stood in welcome.
While the initial arrival remained understated, the formal visit begins in earnest on Friday with a ceremonial welcome featuring full military honors and a 21-gun salute. Noticing the familiar faces of the British press corps as he departed the airport, the King shared a brief, lighthearted moment with the group before heading to his first engagement.
