During a formal welcome at the White House on April 28, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla, reflecting on the legacy of the Anglo-American revolution. Trump remarked that their ancestors would be proud of the survival of this legacy, while the White House humorously captioned their meeting as 'TWO KINGS.' This encounter comes amid Trump's controversial use of monarchical imagery, including AI-generated videos portraying him in royal attire. In contrast, Representative Joe Morelle (Democrat, New York) emphasized the difference in sovereignty between the U.S. and the UK, stating that the people are the sovereign in America. King Charles, in his address to Congress, invoked historical documents like the Magna Carta and the U.S. Bill of Rights to underscore the importance of checks and balances in governance. Trump, facing criticism for his behavior, denied any king-like tendencies in a CBS interview, asserting, 'I'm not a king.'
