King Charles and Queen Camilla are currently at Arlington National Cemetery, where the King earlier laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
It’s a long tradition for British royalty to visit the Virginia cemetery, particularly the site’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The monument, which was built in 1921, honours unidentified American soldiers lost in war.
King George VI visited in 1939 with his wife, the Queen Mother, laying a wreath on the tomb.
Their daughter, the late Queen Elizabeth II, visited the site multiple times during her reign, including in 1957, 1976, and 1991.
In 1985, King Charles – who was then the Prince of Wales – visited the Arlington National Cemetery with his then-wife Princess Diana.
And in 2013, Prince Harry visited the site, where he walked through the rows of gravestones.
