LONDON, April 26 – Royal officials announced Sunday that King Charles and Queen Camilla will move forward with their planned four-day state visit to America, despite a shooting incident that occurred at a dinner event with President Donald Trump.

The palace representative added that the monarchs expressed appreciation for the swift coordination that allowed the visit to continue.
“The king and queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case and are looking forward to the visit getting underway tomorrow,” the spokesperson stated.
