This Senate resolution formally welcomes King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom to the United States for the King's address to a joint meeting of Congress on April 28, 2026. The resolution celebrates the historic US-UK relationship and marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, noting this will be the first address by a British monarch to Congress since Queen Elizabeth II spoke in 1991. The measure recognizes the strong partnership between the two nations in areas including defense, security cooperation through NATO and other alliances, and shared democratic values. The resolution passed the Senate with broad bipartisan support and does not involve any funding or create new programs, serving instead as a formal diplomatic gesture. It encourages continued cooperation between the countries on strategic security issues, particularly in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.
