"I've made the decision to end my relationship with Klay," she said. "Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there's no real path forward. I'm taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity."

14 Iconic Photos of British Royals Visiting the U.S. (Including Kate and William Sitting Courtside!)

King CharlesandQueen Camillaare commemorating 250 years of American independence with ahistoric tripto the U.S.

This is Charles' first state visit since becoming monarch in 2022, but British royals have been touring the U.S. for decades.

"For my part, I havealways admiredthe ingenuity of the American people, and the principles of freedom which your great democracy has represented since its inception," Charles said at a September 2025 banquet honoring PresidentDonald Trumpand first ladyMelania Trump. "Throughout my life, from my very first visit to the United States in 1970 and over 20 visits since that time, I have cherished the close ties between the British and American peoples."

As the King makes his way through Washington, D.C., New York City and more, here's a look back at some of the most iconic moments from past royal visits, including whenPrincess Dianadanced withJohn TravoltaandLeBron JamesmetPrince WilliamandKate Middleton.

King George and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, make history with the Roosevelts

In June 1939, King George and his wife, Elizabeth, — the parents of the lateQueen Elizabeth— made history as the first reigning British monarchs to visit the U.S.

They were invited by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he learned that the royal couple were planning a trip to Canada. He wrote them, extending an invite for some days of "rest and relaxation" at his Hyde Park estate in New York.

During their visit to Hyde Park, they had a picnic where hot dogs were served, which George ate "with gusto," historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. said, perThe New York Times. Elizabeth ate hers with a fork and knife.

Queen Elizabeth attends her first American football game

On Oct. 19, 1957, Elizabeth attended her first and only American football game at the University of Maryland.

The event — which saw the University of Maryland take on the University of North Carolina – was dubbed the "Queen's Game," and according to theUniversity of Marylandarchives, the Queen andPrince Philipwere given an autographed football, along with a replica of the coin from the toss, by each of the team captains.

University of Maryland president Wilson Elkins said Elizabeth was "most interested in the difference between the English Rugby and the American game," according to the school'slibraries.

Prince Charles and Princess Anne visit the Nixon White House

In 1970, then-Prince Charles made his first visit to the U.S., when President Richard Nixon invited him and his sister, Princess Anne, for an official visit to the White House.

Nixon did it not only to keep relations strong between the U.K. and U.S., but he also hoped for a romantic connection between Charles and his eldest daughter, Tricia.

Decades later, King Charlesmade a joke about the visitduring a state banquet speech in September 2025, saying, "In fact, had the media succeeded in the 1970s in their own attempt at deepening the special relationship, I myself might have been married off within the Nixon family!"

Prince Charles and Barbra Streisand form a friendship

Charles andBarbra Streisandhad a friendship that began in 1974, when they were both in San Diego.

The then-prince was serving in the Royal Navy at the time and asked to meet the singer, who was recording the soundtrack forFunny Lady.

"The prince was utterly charming when he came to the studio, but frankly, it’s hard to have a real conversation when you’re surrounded by fifty photographers snapping pictures,” Streisand wrote in her 2023My Name Is Barbramemoir, perEntertainment Weekly. "I was drinking tea and offered him a sip ... and the future king of England actually drank from my cup, which was apparently unprecedented."

The two struck up a friendship, something that has lasted for decades since their initial meeting.

Queen Elizabeth celebrates the American bicentennial with President Ford

Queen Elizabeth visited the U.S. again in 1976, this time in honor of the American bicentennial.

On July 7, 1976, President Gerald Ford and first lady Betty Ford hosted a state dinner for the Queen and Prince Philip, which included entertainment by Bob Hope and Telly Savalas, as requested by the Queen.

Princess Diana and John Travolta share a dance

Diana shared a dance with Travolta when she visited the White House in 1985.

At the event, first lady Nancy Reagan told Travolta that it was Diana's fantasyto dance withtheSaturday Night Feverstar, he later recalled. After he asked her to dance, Travolta said, "The whole room cleared."

"We danced for what felt like 15 minutes," he said in the 2021 PBS specialIn Their Own Words: Diana, Princess of Wales.

"It was a storybook moment," Travolta continued. "We bowed when it was over, and, you know, she was off, and I was off, and my carriage turned into a pumpkin."

Prince Charles takes on Texas

In 1986, Charles visited the Lone Star State in honor of the Republic of Texas' 150th anniversary.

During his four-day trip, Charles met with Texas celebrities like Lady Bird Johnson and Willie Nelson, according toCBS Austin.

Queen Elizabeth addresses Congress

During his April 2026 trip to the U.S., King Charles delivered an address to Congress, being the second British monarch to do so.

The first was his mother, Queen Elizabeth, during a state visit in 1991.

Princess Diana dances with Phil Donahue

In June 1996, Diana visited Chicago for three days to raise money for cancer research.

Diana was the guest of honor at a fundraising gala held at the Field Museum of Natural History, where she danced with talk show hostPhil Donahue.

"I love Chicago. It’s been wonderful," Diana said when she boarded her flight home, according toNorthwestern University.

Queen Elizabeth's last state visit to U.S.

Before King Charles' historic state visit, the last time a British monarch set foot in the White House was in 2007, when President George W. Bush hosted Queen Elizabeth.

Her six-day visit included time spent in Virginia and the Kentucky Derby, before arriving in Washington, D.C., according toTIME. The Queen's 2007 trip would also be her final state visit to the U.S. before her death in 2022.

Prince William and Kate walk the red carpet

Prince William and Kate went Hollywood while on a North American tour in July 2011. The royal couple attended the BAFTAs' “Brits to Watch” event, highlighting rising stars from the U.K.

The glamorous outing came just a few months after theirroyal weddingin April 2011.

Prince William and Kate meet LeBron James

The UK is a malaria science ‘superpower’ – and the world needs that

The fight to endmalariais facing aperfect storm of challenges.

A wave of cuts to global health budgets in 2025 has impacted both our ability to ensurelifesaving tools reach those who need them– and our ability to develop new ones. Mosquitos and the malaria parasite have continued to build resistance to certain malaria interventions which we’ve relied on for years.

Climate change is shifting the habitats for some malaria transmitting mosquitoes, making them harder to track, made worse by extreme weather events. And conflict, rising across the globe, is creating enormous upheaval to public health measures designed to protect against malaria.

All this comes off the back of six years of rising malaria cases since the Covid-19 pandemic to an all-time high of 282 million in 2024, as well as rising case "incidence" [the number of cases per 1,000 people at risk]. Similarly, we’ve seen the number of people dying from malaria rise to 610,000 in 2024 – the highest since 2020. The vast majority of people dying from the disease (95 per cent) are in sub-SaharanAfricaand – utterly heartbreakingly – over 75 per cent are children under five.

While this paints a vivid picture of the scale of the challenge we face, we can and we must remain hopeful. Indeed, while progress has stalled in recent years, the decades preceding this saw historic progress in efforts to reduce and eliminate the disease. Between the years 2000 and 2019, for example, annual deaths from malaria dropped by more than 34 per cent. A healthy pipeline of tools distributed by well-funded global health bodies, working in close partnership with malaria-endemic countries, proved progress is possible.

What may surprise readers is the pivotal role theUKhas played in fighting Malaria. Indeed, new research by Impact Global Health in partnership with Malaria No More UK, shows that, as of 2025, UK science institutions were behind one in every five malaria tools in the research and development (R&D) pipeline. That ranks the country as being the third biggest contributor in the world to malaria R&D tools such as vaccines, drugs and vector control products like bed-nets. Particularly high, is the UK’s contribution to malaria vaccines and drugs with involvement in nearly a third (31 per cent) of all vaccines in the pipeline (the second highest in the world) and nearly a quarter (23.2 per cent) of all drugs. What’s more, we’ve consistently been one of the biggest financial backers of malaria R&D for nearly two decades.

A number of factors make this possible. Essential, is working hand-in-hand with scientists in malaria-endemic countries, given the invaluable expertise of those on the frontline. The UK’s world-class universities, research institutes, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies also provide a vibrant network of expertise allowing innovation to flourish.

Years of bold commitments from consecutive British governments have helped foster stability and confidence in the malaria science ecosystem. What’s more, scientists are closer than ever to creating the "end game" tools which wouldn’t just reduce the spread or treat people who got infected with malaria – they would pave the way to wiping it out completely.

Today, we stand at a crossroads. With malaria cases rising around the world and countries stepping back on aid commitments, we hope the UK government protects investment in malaria R&D. Specifically, we need the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to maintain spending on malaria R&D within its "global research and technology development’ portfolio.

Without question, this would save the lives of children around the world and resist the looming threat of malaria. What’s more, it would contribute to positive ripple effects around the world including in the UK. For example, previous research from Malaria No More UK shows reducing malaria could see a boost of more than $80 billion (£66bn) in international trade including in the UK. We may also see health benefits too: Impact Global Health have shown how previous research into a malaria vaccine, for example, helped produce a vaccine for shingles, which is now widely used across high-income countries including the UK and is projected to prevent nearly 32 million cases globally by 2050.

Continuing to back British scientists and maintaining our reputation as a malaria science superpower is one of the best things this government can do to save lives around the world whilst bolstering the UK’s health security and economic stability. In the face of the perfect storm of malaria threats, we can and we must remain optimistic about our ability as a global health community to fight back.
