I'm Wolf Blitzer with Pamela Brown and you're in the situation room.

And we begin with the breaking news just minutes from now.

Pop and ceremony over at the White House.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will formally

welcome Great Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla. We're going to show you all the splendor,

the military honors, the national anthems, and a 21-gun cannon salute. The king and queen will then

sign the official White House guest book and exchange gifts with their hosts.

And then King Charles and President Trump will meet in the White House before the King addresses a joint meeting of Congress this afternoon.

A state dinner is then planned for tonight.

And this morning's festivities come a day after the Royals and the first couple shared an afternoon tea.

The King and Queen then attended a garden party at the British Ambassador's residence mingling

with some 600 guests. The state visit comes ahead of the 250th anniversary of American independence.

We're following all the developments as a very, very busy morning unfolds over at the White House as well as here in the situation room.

Let's begin our coverage this hour with CNN White House correspondent Elena, Trin.
