King Charles visits 9/11 Memorial

King Charles visits 9/11 Memorial

King Charles III and Queen Camilla traveled to New York City to pay their respects at the 9/11 Memorial, marking a poignant moment in their U.S. visit.

The royal couple met with victims' families and first responders, laying white roses at the reflecting pools.

During a cultural reception in Harlem, the King made a light-hearted joke about his health, stating he "won't see the long-distant future." The visit, the first by a reigning British monarch to New York in 16 years, aims to strengthen cultural and historical ties between the two nations.
