Mr. Speaker, their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilo I would like, if I may, to take this opportunity to express my particular gratitude to you all for the great honor of addressing this joint uh meeting of Congress and on behalf of the Queen and myself to thank the American people for welcoming welcoming us to the United States to mark this semiquincentennial year uh of the Declaration of Independence.
And for all of that time, And um for all of that time, our destinies as nations have been interlin.
As Oscar Wild said, we have rarely everything in common uh with America nowadays, except of course language.
So I come here today with the highest respect for the United States Congress.
This citadel of democracy created to represent the voice of all American people to advance sacred rights and freedoms.
Speaking in this um renowned chamber of debate and deliberation, I cannot help but think of my late mother, Queen Elizabeth, who in 1991 was also afforded this signal honor and similarly spoke under the watchful eye of the statue of freedom above us.
Today I am here on this great occasion in the life uh of our nations to express the highest regard and friendship of the British people to the people of the United States.
and and may I also just start by paying tribute to your own courage and steadfastness uh as well as to your security services for their swift actions on Saturday evening in preventing further injury.
My my thoughts my thoughts and sympathies are very much with you the first lady and all those guests uh for whom this must have been a very upsetting incident.
As the words of that famous anthem remind us, this is the land of the free and home of the brave. as your own response demonstrates what um used to be called in the last war in the United Kingdom uh keep calm and carry on.
And if I may say so, it is a particular pleasure to be back in this wonderful building, the heart of your democracy.
On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the east wing. Mr. president um following your visit to Windsor Castle last year and I'm sorry to say that we British of course made our own um small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.
As the um direct descendant of King George III, I know this is a nation that never gives up.
And my family's history remains reflected in your maps, which read rather like our Christmas card list across the ages.
North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and the cities of Charleston, a particular favorite of mine.
obviously uh George Town and for that matter Georgia, Annapolis as you mentioned and further favorites Prince William County and Williamsburg.
This said, our French friends can feel equally at home with a glance at a map.
Indeed, you recently commented, Mr. president that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German.
Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking FRENCH TOGETHER.
TONIGHT, we are here to renew an indispensable alliance which has long been a cornerstone of prosperity and security for both British and American citizens.
Our people have fought and fallen together uh in defense of the values we cherish.
Across the ocean and from coast to coast, we have traded, innovated, and created together. We've stood together through the best and worst of times.
However, uh the challenges we now face from those who wish us harm across the world to balancing the risks and opportunities of powerful new technologies to the threats to the very international rules that have allowed us to trade and have kept power in balance for 80 years. Those challenges encourage us to reaffirm tonight the basis on which our partnership has been built.
And yes, we Please join me in welcoming his majesty King Charles III.
It's a wonderfully proud but extraordinary moment to think that it's 50 years since I started this trust.
Quite difficult to get it off the ground in the first place. Uh but we did. And so perhaps you can imagine that after all these years of investing in young people, helping them to start their own businesses, everything else, when I see the difference it's made and helping to build self-confidence, self-esteem, but also highly successful businesses, many of which they've sold on for millions.
And then of course the greatest thing which I always hoped but never quite believed would happen having invested many of the people who've been successful through the trust then come back to help support other young people in the future. So that for me has been a wonderful uh virtue.
Stay water.
You can take it anywhere you want.
Morning.
>> Good morning.
>> Greek king.
>> What would you rate this?
>> The greatest king in my book.
>> Look at >> your majesty. What do you think of uh the Trump Renaissance here at DC? All day.
