On Monday, he will arrive for an official state visit where he will travel to Washington DC, Virginia and New York before departing for Bermuda.
The US trip is the first by a reigning British monarch in almost 20 years, since Queen Elizabeth II accepted an invitation from President George W Bush in 2007.
His past trips have included playing polo in Florida, chatting to presidents as far back as Richard Nixon and meeting American A-list celebrities.
