King Charles III and Prince William are reportedly being considered for royal visits to the US in 2026 as part of a strategy to secure a trade deal. Charles's potential trip to Washington and William's visit to North America coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence. These visits aim to leverage royal influence amid ongoing trade negotiations, which have faced hurdles over market access for American farmers and regulatory issues. The UK government hopes these royal engagements will incentivize a trade agreement before US mid-term elections.
