WASHINGTON - Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, Leader Schumer, and Leader Jeffries today announced His Majesty King Charles III, The King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, will address a Joint Meeting of Congress on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.

"This year, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of its independence. As we celebrate this historic milestone and recommit ourselves to the principles upon which our nation was founded, we also recognize that the American experiment endures in no small part because of the British tradition from which it sprang. We believe an Address to Congress will provide a unique opportunity to share your vision for the future of our special relationship and reaffirm our alliance at this pivotal time in history."
