The King has landed in Bermuda for a solo royal trip following the conclusion of his and the Queen’s state visit to the US.
Charles will stay in the British overseas territory until Saturday after arriving at LF Wade International Airport on Thursday evening.
He was greeted by Governor of Bermuda Andrew Murdoch and David Burt, the premier of Bermuda, with a small guard of honour formed by the Royal Bermuda Regiment.

On Friday, the King will receive a ceremonial welcome featuring a 21-gun salute, and during his visit, he will also spend time with Commonwealth athletes and officially open the Great Bay Coast Guard Station on the island of St David’s.
It is Charles’s first visit to a British overseas territory as monarch and the first ever visit by a reigning king to Bermuda.

Royals ‘leave a piece of our heart’ in US
The King was waved off from Joint Base Andrews in Washington by Donald Trump to round off his four-day visit to the US to mark the 250th anniversary of the country’s independence.
The Queen, who joined her husband on the trip, will remain in the US for the time being.

During their time across the Atlantic, the couple attended a state dinner, paid tribute at the 9/11 Memorial in New York, and the King gave an address to the US Congress – becoming only the second monarch to do so.
At the end of the trip, Mr Trump hailed Charles as the “greatest King in my book”, while in a social media post, the King and Queen said: “We leave a piece of our heart behind and take a little of yours back home with us.”
The US president also announced he would remove tariffs on Scottish whisky “in honour” of the King and Queen, insisting the royals had “got me to do something that nobody else was able to do”.
Mr Trump added that the lifting of restrictions would help Scotland’s “very important” whisky and bourbon business with the US state of Kentucky.
In response to the gesture, Buckingham Palace said Charles would be “raising a dram”.

‘I can’t give you an answer’
Much of the focus on the King and Queen’s state visit had been the extent to which it could improve UK-US relations that have been frayed since the start of the Iran war.
However, a short time after the King departed, Mr Trump cast doubt on whether the trip had had the desired healing effect.
“I can’t give you an answer to that,” he told Sky News in a phone call.
The US president then continued his criticism of Sir Keir Starmer, claiming he had made “a tragic mistake” on immigration and energy policies, before suggesting the prime minister should follow the “fantastic” monarch’s example.
Mr Trump added: “Your prime minister has to learn to deal the way he deals, and he’ll do a lot better.”
