King Charles To Meet New York Mayor Mamdani In New York
King Charles is expected to meet New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York during his visit next week, according to two people familiar with the planning
The unlikely duo will both attend a wreath laying at the 9/11 memorial in downtown Manhattan on Wednesday. The event will also be attended by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other New York government officials, according to the two people, who were granted anonymity to discuss private plans.
Mamdani, son of one of world’s most prominent postcolonial theorists, will have a camera-ready moment when he greets the man whose forebears oversaw the British imperial project that undergirds his father Mahmood Mamdani’s academic career.
King Charles’ stop at the 9/11 memorial is the kind of standard royal visit fare aimed at reinforcing the countries’ close security partnership and shared sacrifice. New York’s mayor is a natural part of that kind of programming.
One thing the pair have in common: They both get along quite well with President Donald Trump.
Spokespeople for Mamdani and Bloomberg did not immediately to questions.
