King Charles Delivers Rare Address to Joint Meeting of Congress

In a historic Joint Address to Congress on April 28, 2026, King Charles III hailed the "unbreakable" bond between the U.S. and UK while celebrating America’s Semiquincentennial. Standing before a chamber including Vice President J.D. Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, the King became only the second British monarch to address a joint session, following his mother in 1991. He used the platform to condemn political violence following the recent WHCD incident, urging the allies to resist "inward-looking" isolationism and reaffirming their shared commitment to NATO and democratic values. Despite ongoing tensions between President Trump and PM Keir Starmer over the war in Iran, the King’s speech emphasized a "partnership born out of dispute" that remains essential for global stability. #KingCharles #Congress #JointAddress #Trump #SpecialRelationship #UKUS #Democracy #USA250 #BreakingNews #WashingtonDC
