This includes, as you might have guessed, a meeting with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama! The White House released a statement confirming the Obamas, joined by Vice President Joe Biden, will meet with Camilla and Charles in the Oval Office on March 19. Charles, whose second grandchild is due in April, and Camilla will also visit Mt.

These two won't only be visiting the nation's capital—they're heading to Kentucky, too! Per the palace, on March 20,  Charles and Camilla will visit Louisville, where the prince will give a keynote address to an audience of health practitioners, business, faith and community leaders addressing links between health and our natural environment.
