In his 20th visit to the United States, and first as British monarch, King Charles III addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday.

Alongside his wife Queen Camilla, the royal marked the 250th anniversary of American independence, reaffirming the “special relationship” between the U.K. and U.S. amid bilateral and global tensions.

Without directly pointing out the war in Iran — ignited by U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — Charles urged for peace in both Europe and the Middle East.

“It is my hope, my prayer, that in these turbulent times, working together and with our international partners, we can stem the beating of ploughshares into swords,” King Charles said before House Speaker Mike Johnson, Vice President JD Vance and hundreds of Republican and Democratic senators.

He continued: “The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It is irreplaceable and unbreakable,” Charles said.

Charles, who was in the U.S. for a four-day state visit, is just the second British monarch to address Congress after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, delivered a similar speech in 1991.
