King Charles III and Queen Camilla returned to the site of the 9/11 attacks on Wednesday as they head to New York City for the third day of their visit to the United States.
During their visit, the royal couple are scheduled to meet with first responders and family members of the victims.
In 2005, Charles and Camilla also visited Ground Zero where they laid a wreath at the site where the World Trade Center collapsed. The then-Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall also unveiled the center stone for what is now known as the Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden.
The couple’s New York visit comes a day after they attended a state dinner in their honor hosted by President Donald Trump and Melania Trump. Earlier in the afternoon, Charles delivered an address to a joint meeting of Congress, becoming the first British monarch to do so since his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s speech in 1991.

Trump claims king agrees on stance on Iran's nuclear program
6:34 a.m. ET: President Trump claimed that King Charles "agrees" with him on stopping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"And we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more than I do — we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon," Trump said at a state dinner at the White House. "Our countries have stood together, defiant, triumphant against the forces of communism, fascism and tyranny."
As a constitutional monarch, King Charles did not directly address the Iran war in his own speech, nor has Buckingham Palace responded to the president's claim from the private conversation.
