King Charles’ address to Congress occurred on April 27, 2026, marking his historic first (and the second ever for a British monarch) joint speech to the U.S. Congress. He emphasized the enduring U.S.–U.K. “special relationship” and urged bipartisan resolve to support shared security, democracy, and international stability. Reports indicate the moment drew bipartisan applause, including remarks on defending Ukraine and condemning violence as a domestic concern.[1][3][9]
