What The Royals Did In Washington

— -- Attention, anglophiles: The royals are back on American soil.

Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who arrived in Washington Tuesday evening, spent this morning touring the nation’s capital.

First stop: the Lincoln Memorial.

After shaking hands with several tourists, Charles and Camilla continued on to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, where they were greeted by civil rights activist Reverend Jesse Jackson.

The couple also visited George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate in Northern Virginia, where they laid a wreath on the first U.S. president's grave.

This afternoon, they visited the National Archives, where their royal highnesses celebrated the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the charter that abolished the British monarchy’s absolute power.

Then, while Prince Charles spoke about protecting the world's oceans from pollution at DC's Hay Adams hotel, Camilla toured the Harman Center for the Arts with the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

Tomorrow, the couple will meet with President Obama at the White House. Then the prince will visit a local charter school while the duchess meets with DC’s Sexual Assault Response Team. On Friday, they’ll proceed to Louisville, KY, where they’ll stump for food literacy and sustainability.

This is Prince Charles’ 20th official visit to the United States, and his third official appearance with his wife.

Charles' son, Prince William, and his wife, Duchess Kate, visited America in December.
