Addressing a joint session of Congress, the King described the relationship as a remarkable story of reconciliation, innovation, and cooperation, evolving from deep divisions 250 years ago.
He highlighted how shared values—democracy, rule of law, and strong institutions, have enabled both nations to build one of the world’s most influential alliances, contributing not only to bilateral interests but also to global stability.
This marks King Charles III’s first address to the US Congress as monarch and only the second such occasion by a British sovereign, following Queen Elizabeth II’s speech in 1991.
