King Charles\u2019 state visit to the US is ready to go ahead in only a couple of days, but security measures for the royal are under review after the shooting in Washingon DC last night.<\/p>\n

An apparent would-be assassin stormed a dinner event where Donald Trump was preparing to handle top US journalists last night.<\/p>\n

Gunshots rang out on the hotel where the formal White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner was happening, with one Secret Service agent hit but \u2018in good spirits\u2019, the President said.<\/p>\n

Speaking concerning the attack, chief secretary to Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Sky News today: \u2018As you’d imagine, with His Majesty the King, this week our teams are working closely to be certain that security arrangements are put appropriately in place.<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018As you’d imagine, the federal government and the Palace were in close cooperation with American counterparts prematurely of the visit anyway, and further discussions will likely be happening today, ahead of next week.\u2019<\/p>\n

The King and Queen are on account of visit the US for a state visit at the tip of April.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president has promised them \u2018a wonderful banquet dinner\u2019 and revealed the \u2018historic state\u00a0visit\u2019 will happen over 4 days from April 27-30 \u2013 despite Buckingham Palace deciding to not release the precise dates in its own official announcement.<\/p>\n

\u2018I stay up for spending time with the\u00a0King, whom I greatly respect. It’ll be TERRIFIC!,\u2019 Trump\u00a0said on the time of the announcement.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s expected that the Americans will roll out the red carpet for the King, despite celebrating 250 years without British rule.<\/p>\n

Trump may even likely give a tour to Charles around\u00a0the White House\u00a0\u2013 though he was quick to say that he won\u2019t showcase as many historic items to the King.<\/p>\n

During his state visit this 12 months, Trump joked, \u2018 what? I\u2019m going to treat you to a state dinner, you’ll be able to come to the US, and I\u2019m not going to pull you across the Lincoln Memorial. You’ll be able to just have dinner after which go to bed.\u2019<\/p>\n

The transatlantic trip will likely be subject to the King being well enough, with the 77-year-old head of state currently undergoing treatment for cancer.<\/p>\n

Charles was last in Washington, DC, for the funeral of former President George H.W. Bush in Washington, but he\u2019s met many Presidents.<\/p>\n

He is anticipated to be joined by his wife,\u00a0Queen Camilla, for the landmark visit.<\/p>\n

Charles has made greater than a dozen overseas trips since becoming King, including state visits to France, Italy and\u00a0Kenya.<\/p>\n
