the shared democratic traditions of Britain and the United States, highligh

to strengthen those bonds, despite the current tensions surrounding Prime M
Minister Keir Starmer's refusal to support US President Donald Trump's war 
against Iran.

A Royal Tradition

For centuries, British monarchs have played a significant role in fostering
fostering ties between the United Kingdom and the United States. In 1939, K
King George VI became the first British monarch to set foot on American soi
soil, marking the beginning of a special relationship that has endured thro

American forces fought together in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrating the 
strength of their alliance.

A New Era

9/11 attacks, honor fallen service members, and attend an event marking the
the 100th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh stories by British author A.A. Mil
Milne. Awkward events will be avoided, with no meetings planned with Jeffre
Jeffrey Epstein's victims or his son Prince Harry, who has been a critic of
of the monarchy.

Instead, Charles will focus on history, not politics. His speech to a joint
joint session of Congress offers the chance to deliver a message that long-
long-term friendship is more important than transient disputes. He may even
even offer a bit of humor, as his mother did when she faced lawmakers in 19
1991.

Charles III so eloquently put it, History has shown that the special relat
relationship between our two nations is not just about governments or polit
politicians, but about people.
