Charles, 77, and Camilla, 78, bid farewell to President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump on April 30 and headed to Arlington, Virginia, to visit one of the most significant sites of military remembrance. The monarch and queen consort laid a wreath and a posy at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. While they honored fallen members of the military with the act, it was also a gesture of unity between the US and the U.K.
However, the Union Jack flag paraded behind Charles and Camilla during the solemn event was flown upside down.

The institute noted it’s “most improper to fly the flag upside down.”
"For about two hours, they put the Australian flag up alongside the Stars and Stripes … I think they realized their mistake, and they've replaced them now with the Union Jack," Longman said in a video shared to Instagram on April 24.
An official confirmed to The Washington Examiner that the mistake was “quickly” fixed along 17th Street NW near the Eisenhower Executive Building.
Charles spoke about the “indispensable partnership” between the United Kingdom and America during his April 28 address.
Charles pointed to the “common ideals” of the countries, which have been on opposing sides of several issues as of late, including the Russian-Ukrainian war and the Iranian conflict.
“The rule of law: the certainty of stable and accessible rules, an independent judiciary resolving disputes and delivering impartial justice. These features created the conditions for centuries of unmatched economic growth in our two countries,” Charles continued. “This is why our governments are concluding new economic and technology agreements – to write the next chapter of our joint prosperity and ensure that British and American ingenuity continues to lead the world.”
