Charles, Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are scheduled to meet with Obama during their four-day visit to the United States in March. The heir to the throne will meet with the President in the Oval Office on March 19, according to a tweet from the [National Security Council](https://twitter.com/NSCPress/status/568769624776396800 "undefined"), and the meeting is said to underscore the “special relationship” between the U.S. and the U.K. The royal pair will be visiting during the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and Lincoln’s death, and are planning to visit numerous historical sites, including the home where Lincoln is thought to have written the last draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, according to a [news release](http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/media/press-releases/the-prince-of-wales-and-the-duchess-of-cornwall-visit-the-united-states-of-1 "undefined"). They’ll also visit Mount Vernon and meet with American veterans, and stop off in Louisville, KY. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3716315/prince-charles-obama-white-house/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3716315/prince-charles-obama-white-house/"},"headline":"Prince Charles Will Meet President Obama in the White House in March","datePublished":"2015-02-20T15:12:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:45.686Z","description":"Heir to the throne will pay a visit to the United States","url":"https://time.com/3716315/prince-charles-obama-white-house/","keywords":["Living","Barack Obama","Prince Charles","Obama","Abraham Lincoln","uk","royals","Louisville"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4668e20b6eb77ea1/6987803706f2c10ed2334129/prince-charles2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4668e20b6eb77ea1/6987803706f2c10ed2334129/prince-charles2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"British Asian Trust Dinner","caption":"British Asian Trust Dinner","creditText":"Dave J Hogan—WPA Rota/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3716315/prince-charles-obama-white-house/","name":"Prince Charles Will Meet President Obama in the White House in March"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The British Royals Through TIME","description":"Deputy managing editor Michael Elliott takes us on a tour of TIME’s coverage of all things royal from 1923 to today","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/OcXH1xum/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2011-04-29T15:19:49.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/OcXH1xum.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3716315/prince-charles-obama-white-house/","duration":"PT3M32S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3716315/prince-charles-obama-white-house/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
