King Charles III is set to visit New York City on Tuesday, with a stop at the 9\/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n
The visit is part of his first trip to the United States since becoming king. It also comes as the country marks 250 years of American independence.<\/p>\n
Officials say the king is expected to arrive at the memorial later in the afternoon for a wreath-laying ceremony. He is also expected to meet with first responders and families connected to the Sept. 11 attacks.<\/p>\n
The visit comes as New York City approaches the 25th anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n
After his stop in Lower Manhattan, the king is expected to head to Harlem for a community event focused on young people.<\/p>\n
King Charles spoke ahead of the visit about what he hopes to accomplish during the trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn this week\u2019s visit, I look forward to meeting the people of the community of this dynamic country \u2026 helping give young people a chance to succeed across America,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The royal visit is expected to impact travel across parts of Manhattan.<\/p>\n
The NYPD is warning of road closures, heavy security and delays, especially in Lower Manhattan. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time or use public transportation.<\/p>\n
City officials say the visit is expected to draw large crowds and a strong police presence throughout the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles III is set to visit New York City on Tuesday, with a stop at the 9\/11…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-213859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
