King Charles III is visiting Washington, D.C., for a historic four-day trip aimed at reinforcing the strong ties between the United Kingdom and the United States. In a landmark event, he will become the first British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II in 1991 to address the U.S. Congress. His speech is expected to emphasize shared democratic values and historical bonds between the two nations, aligning with ongoing celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary of independence from Britain.
King Charles is set to offer 'the highest regard and friendship of the British people' to the United States as he becomes the second monarch in history to address a joint meeting of Congress. His speech is expected to reflect on the foundations of 'democratic, legal and social traditions' and highlight how the two nations have stood together throughout history, despite recent tensions over the U.S. war in Iran.
King Charles will address the U.S. Congress with a message of unity between the United Kingdom and the United States, promoting the 'special relationship' at a time of differences over the war on Iran. The address, scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. EDT, will be only the second by a British sovereign to the U.S. Congress, after his mother Queen Elizabeth II spoke to both houses in 1991.
King Charles is expected to allude to recent strains between the UK and US in a rare address by a monarch to the US Congress, underlining that 'time and again our two countries have always found ways to come together'. The speech comes after President Trump has threatened to tear up a trade deal signed by the UK and US, mocked the Royal Navy, and insulted the UK prime minister.
