Sources involved in planning the trip say Charles will pose for cameras at the start of Tuesday’s important bilateral meeting, but will not be filmed talking about anything important.
The King will address Congress this afternoon at 15:00. He is expected to hint In a rare speech to the US Congress by a monarch, he will underline that “our two countries have always found ways to come together” and address recent tensions between the UK and US.

In his speech, the King is expected to state that Britain and the United States have not always agreed on every issue in the last 250 years, but that the foundations of their “democratic, legal and social traditions” dating back to Magna Carta “have always found ways for our two countries to come together.”

In his latest attempt to drum up support for the Save America Act, US President Donald Trump said American elections were “rigged, stolen and ridiculed around the world.”
Urging Republican lawmakers to support his proposal, Trump wrote on Truth Social:
America’s Elections Are Rigged, Stolen, and Ridiculous All Around the World. Either we will fix these, or we will not have a Country anymore. I ask all Republicans to fight for:
SAVE AMERICA!
1. ALL VOTERS MUST PROVIDE VOTER ID (ID!).
2. ALL VOTERS MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO VOTE.
3. NO VOTE BY MAIL (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY OR TRAVEL!).

The suspected gunman who tried to attack a White House reporters’ dinner was arraigned in federal court on Monday and charged with three federal crimes, including attempting to assassinate the president.
The alleged gunman, identified by law enforcement as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, Southern California, was charged with attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, carrying a firearm in commission of a felony and unlawful use of a firearm during violence.
The first charge carries a potential penalty of up to life in prison.
Allen was represented by attorneys with the federal defender’s office and sat next to them in court wearing a blue prison jumpsuit. Three U.S. marshals were seated directly behind him during his appearance.
Allen has no criminal record or civil court history in Los Angeles County, according to a records search.
Among the weapons he had on him Saturday night were a 12-gauge shotgun, a handgun and three knives, according to federal prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine.
Judge Matthew Sharbaugh asked Allen if he had taken any drugs in the past day, to which Allen answered no.
