King Charles III met with Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, and expressed support for Ukrainians at an official event hosted by the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States.

“It was good to see that, among other distinguished guests, King Charles III chose to single out Ukraine’s ambassador for a separate greeting and express his support for Ukrainians,” Stefanishyna wrote on Facebook.

Stefanishyna also highlighted the significance of the British monarch’s visit to the United States.

“This is especially valuable given the historic nature of the visit: For the first time in 19 years, a British monarch has arrived in the United States,” she wrote.

King Charles III arrived in the United States on April 27 for his first official visit as monarch.

Buckingham Palace announced on April 16 the official itinerary for King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the United States. The six-day trip began on April 27 in Washington, D.C., with additional stops in New York and Virginia.

The Guardian reported that a meeting between King Charles III and U.S. President Donald Trump would take place behind closed doors, without cameras, over concerns about a public “Zelenskyy-style clash” and diplomatic awkwardness.
