King Charles and Queen Camilla will host a tea party at Buckingham Palace for war veterans as part of VE Day commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two in Europe. The King and Queen will also watch a flypast and attend a celebratory concert, while a military procession featuring 1,300 members of the armed forces will march along the Mall. There will be other events throughout the week, including a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey, a concert in Horse Guards Parade, and street parties around the country.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have expressed their "heavy hearts" following the death of Pope Francis, saying they are deeply saddened but also somewhat comforted by the Pope's ability to share an Easter greeting with the Church before he passed away. The King praised Pope Francis for his compassion, tireless commitment to people of faith, and work on combating climate change.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla attended an Easter Sunday church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, joined by several members of the Royal Family, including Princess Anne and Prince Andrew. The King and Queen did not attend last year's service due to Catherine, Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis, which is now in remission. The Archbishop of York will deliver the Easter sermon at York Minster today, replacing the traditional message from The Archbishop of Canterbury who resigned in November following controversy over his handling of a child abuse case.

US President Donald Trump has suggested that his second state visit to the UK may take place in September. The suggestion was made after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer handed him an invitation letter from King Charles in February, marking an unprecedented second-term US president state visit. Discussions are ongoing to find a suitable date and venue for the visit, which would traditionally be hosted at Windsor Castle due to Buckingham Palace's state rooms being out of action.
