Prince Charles will be off to America after the wedding of his son Prince William to Kate Middleton.
The British royal will reportedly jet to Washington to meet U.S. President Barack Obama and give a speech, his aides said on Thursday.
The heir to the British throne will fly out to the United States for the two-day trip on May 3, just four days after the world’s eyes
will be focused on the marriage of his elder son in London.
During the trip, he will visit the White House to meet Obama, who has not been included on the guest list for the wedding as it is not classified as a full state occasion.
Obama is due to make an official state visit to Britain at the end of May.
Charles will also give a speech at Washington’s Georgetown University on international sustainability, links between the British and U.S. armed forces and the welfare of injured servicemen, and education.
“Needless to say, our friendship
with the United States is one of the most important of Great Britain’s international relationships,” said the prince’s communications secretary Paddy Harverson.
Charles will travel on a private jet owned and offered for his use by Texan businessman Joe Allbritton.
