Carlo received a standing ovation upon his arrival at Capitol Hill: "An attack on Washington? Violence will not win."

Long applause, a standing ovation and even shouts of jubilation greeted King Charles on Capitol Hill before the beginning of his speech.

"The bond between the United States and Great Britain is unbreakable," were his opening words. In a speech where he first condemned Saturday's attack in Washington: "Violence will not win; united we will defend democracy."

Among the key themes of his speech, peppered with historical references but also with erudite quips that drew laughter from parliamentarians, such as when he quoted Oscar Wilde—"we have nothing in common except language"—were concern for the environment, but above all, the wars in Iran and Ukraine, which "pose immense challenges for the international community." "Unwavering resolve" is needed to help Ukraine and its "courageous people," the sovereign added, comparing this attitude to that demonstrated by the Americans after 9/11.

And speaking of September 11th, he emphasized: "We stood by you after September 11th, and we stand by you now." Tomorrow, King Charles will travel to New York to visit the memorial to the attack: "That day will never be forgotten."
