KING CHARLES will address the US Congress on April 28 during his visit to Washington, House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement on Wednesday.

Charles and his wife Queen Camilla will visit the US as part of a planned trip to mark the 250th anniversary of the country’s independence from British rule, before the couple visit Bermuda, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday.


The visit comes as the British government looks to repair relations with Donald Trump, which have been affected by the Iran war.

It will be the first state visit by a British monarch since 2007, when Charles’s mother Queen Elizabeth made the fourth such US trip of her reign.

Trump said the king and queen’s visit will begin on April 27, with a banquet dinner at the White House the next day.
