In a city where 180,000 tourists arrive every day, it’s a safe bet that 179,998 of them won’t get the attention that a certain couple in their late 70s will command after they fly in today.

King Charles III, the British monarch, and Queen Camilla will land on the third day of their state visit to the United States. The visit was timed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence. But tensions over the war with Iran — including President Trump’s blast last month that Prime Minister Keir Starmer was “not Winston Churchill” — had once threatened to overshadow whatever fence-mending the king’s genteel presence might accomplish.

Today the royals will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial and talk with firefighters, police officers and others who descended on the World Trade Center site after the attacks nearly 25 years ago. They are also expected to meet with families of victims.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Monday that he would attend the ceremony “alongside a number of other elected officials,” including Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York and Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey. But “that will be the extent of my meeting with the king.” They will not meet privately.
