Charles’ parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, did not accompany him and his sister, Princess Anne, who was almost 20 at the time, overseas to the White House. Instead, the British royals were hosted by President Richard Nixon, First Lady Pat Nixon, and their daughters, Tricia Nixon and Julie Nixon Eisenhower. The two-day trip was stacked with mostly informal, social gatherings, but the president was hoping to play cupid between Charles and Tricia.

The president praised Charles as "the real gem" of the royal family in a memo to his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, adding that the visit did “an enormous amount of good for U.S.-British relations."
Charles wrote a thank-you note to the Nixons for the “kindness” and hospitality.
"Both my sister and I take back to Britain the most heart-warming evidence of what is known as the special relationship between our two countries and of the great hospitality shown to us by you and your family," he wrote at the time.

"For my part, I have always admired the ingenuity of the American people, and the principles of freedom which your great democracy has represented since its inception," Charles said. "Throughout my life, from my very first visit to the United States in 1970 and over 20 visits since that time, I have cherished the close ties between the British and American peoples."
Charles has been to the US 20 times and has met with 10 out of the 14 sitting presidents during his lifetime.
