History

Historical Context

In May 1991, from 14 to 26 May, Queen Elizabeth II conducted her third U.S. state visit—the first British monarch to address a joint session of Congress—building on a 1976 bicentennial tour. The protocol was revived in 2023 when King Charles III landed in New York, met President Donald Trump and highlighted climate, trade and security.
