CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – England’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla will visit Virginia on Thursday, and Gov. Abigail Spanberger will be on hand in Front Royal to greet the royals, the governor’s office announced.

The National Park Service announced earlier this week that the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center and an adjacent stretch of Skyline Drive would be closed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday “to provide security during a dignitary visit and ensure public health and safety.”

The “closure dates and times may be adjusted as necessary based on the needs of the United States Secret Service,” the NPS release stated.

The town of Front Royal announced a parade as part of its celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary beginning at 10 a.m. on Main St.
