King Charles Recalls 9/11 Tragedy: "We Stood With You Then and We Stand With You Now”

In a moving tribute during his historic address to a Joint Meeting of Congress on April 28, 2026, King Charles III reaffirmed the "unbreakable" bond between the United Kingdom and the United States by recalling the tragedy of September 11. Speaking ahead of a scheduled visit to the 9/11 Memorial in New York, the King invoked the memory of NATO’s first-ever invocation of Article 5, stating, "We stood with you then and we stand with you now." The address, attended by Vice President J.D. Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson, served as a powerful gesture of solidarity as the U.S. prepares for its 250th anniversary, bridging past shared sacrifices with a modern commitment to global security and democratic resilience. #KingCharles #September11 #NeverForget #Congress #JointAddress #SpecialRelationship #UKUS #StateVisit #USA250 #BreakingNews
