  "textContent": "King Charles III and Queen Camilla landed on Monday at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, beginning a four-day state visit to the United States — the most prominent of the current reign and the first by a British monarch in two decades. The tour coincides with the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence and unfolds at a particularly delicate moment for the \"special relationship\" between London and Washington, sharpened by tensions stemming from the war against Iran and a series of diplomatic disagreements that have accumulated in recent months.",
