在国宴的致辞中,查尔斯谈及英美两国的关系,自美国脱离英国独立以来,两国关系已走过250年的发展历程。他称赞美国在脱离大英帝国时展现出“大胆且富有远见的自决行动”,并表示此行旨在“重建不可或缺的同盟关系”。

“我们两国人民曾并肩作战,为捍卫我们珍视的价值观流血牺牲,”国王说道。

查尔斯还讲了几个历史笑话。其中一个笑话针对特朗普先生计划在拆除东翼后在白宫 grounds 上新建宴会厅的事。

“我不禁注意到东翼正在进行改造。很抱歉地说,我们英国人1814年也曾在白宫尝试过一点房地产开发,”国王打趣道。

国宴宾客包括大法官、科技行业领袖

周二的国宴是英国王室此次访问行程中备受期待的活动,着装要求为正装,宾客名单涵盖一众科技行业巨头、商业大亨与政府领导人。

据第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普的办公室公布的名单,受邀宾客包括最高法院的六名保守派大法官、亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯、即将卸任的苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克以及派拉蒙首席执行官大卫·埃利森等人。(派拉蒙天空之舞是哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的母公司。)

出席活动的政府官员包括副总统JD·万斯、财政部长斯科特·贝森特、国务卿马可·卢比奥、特使史蒂夫·威特科夫以及国防部长皮特·赫格塞特。总统的三名子女埃里克、伊万卡和蒂芙尼也携配偶出席。

在国宴上,查尔斯提及特朗普先生此前针对欧洲盟友的言论,他称这些盟友未在防务上承担公平份额。

“总统先生,您此前曾表示,如果不是美国,欧洲国家现在可能会说德语,”这位英国君主说道,并补充道:“恕我直言,如果不是我们,您现在可能会说法语。”

查尔斯在国会发表演讲

国王成为三十多年来首位在国会发表演讲的英国君主,周二他在美国国会山联席会议上发表了讲话。当他与卡米拉抵达众议院会议厅时,座无虚席的会场全体起立鼓掌。

“美国的话语承载着分量与意义,自独立以来便是如此。这个伟大国家的行动更为重要。林肯总统对此深有体会,他在庄严的葛底斯堡演说中反思道,世人或许不会铭记我们说了什么,但永远不会忘记我们做了什么,”国王在这场持续近30分钟的演讲中说道。

“因此,值此美利坚合众国建国250周年之际,愿我们两国再次致力于彼此,为我们两国人民乃至全世界所有人民无私奉献。”

查尔斯在国会的讲话中也加入了一些轻松的元素。他以一个笑话开启演讲:“一直以来,我们两国的命运都紧密相连。正如奥斯卡·王尔德所说:‘如今我们和美国几乎在所有方面都大同小异,当然除了语言!’”

King Charles gifted President Trump a British World War II relic with his name on it, delivered rousing remarks to Congress, and cracked quite a few historical jokes during his state visit to Washington, D.C., alongside Queen Camilla

Here are some of the standout moments and photos from their visit:

In remarks at the dinner, Charles focused on the relationship between the U.K. and U.S. that has grown over the 250 years since America declared independence from Britain. He praised America’s “audacious and visionary act of self-determination” when it broke from the British Empire and said he was there “to renew an indispensable alliance.”

“Our people have fought and fallen together in defense of the values we cherish,” the king said.

Charles also cracked a few historical jokes. In one, he referenced the ballroom Mr. Trump is looking to build on the grounds of the White House after the demolition of the East Wing.

“I cannot help noticing readjustments to the East Wing. I’m sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate development in the White House in 1814,” the king quipped.

State dinner guests included justices, tech leaders

Tuesday’s state dinner was a highly anticipated event on the British monarchs’ travel itinerary, with a formal dress code and a guest list including a roster of tech industry giants, business moguls and government leaders.

On the list, released by first lady Melania Trump’s office, were the Supreme Court’s six conservative justices, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook and Paramount CEO David Ellison, among others. (Paramount Skydance is the parent company of CBS News.)

Administration officials in attendance included Vice President JD Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Three of the president’s children, Eric, Ivanka and Tiffany, were also there with their spouses.

At the dinner, Charles referenced previous comments by Mr. Trump aimed at European allies he claims are not paying their fair share on defense.

“You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German,” the British monarch said, adding: “Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French.”

Charles addressed Congress

The king became the first British monarch in more than three decades to address Congress, when he delivered a speech Tuesday before a joint meeting at the U.S. Capitol. He and Camilla received a standing ovation from a packed House chamber when they arrived.

“America’s words carry weight and meaning, as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more. President Lincoln understood this so well, with his reflection in the magisterial Gettysburg Address that the world may little note what we say, but will never forget what we do,” the king said in his speech, which lasted almost 30 minutes.

“And so, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other in the selfless service of our peoples and of all the peoples of the world.”

Charles’ congressional remarks also included some levity. He kicked off the speech with a joke: “And for all of that time, our destinies as Nations have been interlinked. As Oscar Wilde said, ‘We really have everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language!’”

“That understanding of our nation’s unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship,” the president said. “And we hope it will always remain that way.”

Oval Office meeting

After finishing his remarks at the arrival ceremony, Mr. Trump, the first lady and the British royals observed a military procession and then entered the White House for talks that were closed to members of the press.

The president and the king entered the Oval Office just before noon, with the first lady and the queen following behind. Mr. Trump and Charles held a bilateral meeting, which the president later called “really good.”

“It was a really good meeting. He’s a fantastic person. They’re incredible people and it’s a real honor,” he said.
