The royal couple are attending a wreath-laying ceremony at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

They are meeting with first responders and the families of victims ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, both joined the King and Queen at the memorial.

For Wednesday's engagement, Queen Camilla is wearing a navy blue crepe silk dress and coat, both by Fiona Clare, with a Britannia red, white and blue brooch owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Their Majesties' visit comes after Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles was being kept informed about today's terrorist attack in Golders Green.

Two Jewish men were stabbed this morning in what Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called a "deeply concerning" terror attack in north west London.

Officers were first called to Highfield Avenue at 11.16am to reports of a stabbing in Highfield Road, Golders Green.

A Palace spokesman said: "His Majesty is being kept fully informed and is naturally deeply concerned, in particular about the impact for the Jewish community.

"His thoughts and prayers are with the two individuals who were injured and offers his heartfelt gratitude to those who so selflessly rushed to their aid."

Later this evening, Charles and Camilla will attend a reception at Rockefeller Center for the King's Trust, a charity founded by the King to support young people.

In addition, the King will visit Harlem Grown, a non-profit organisation focused on urban farming and sustainability for children.
