It's been a busy second day in the White House amid King Charles and Queen Camilla's historic state visit, with the British royals appearing at four engagements on Tuesday ahead of the highly anticipated state dinner. The day began with Charles delivering an address to Congress on the "special relationship" between the US and the UK, before calling for global cooperation and support for the fight against climate change.
Charles' address marks only the second time a monarch has spoken to Congress, with the first being his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1991, and the first time for a British king.
Following his address, the King met with a group of entrepreneurs and leaders, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, President and CIO of Alphabet and Google Ruth Porat, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, in the Lee Drawing Room at Blair House.
On Tuesday, Charles and Donald Trump also had a closed-door meeting in the Oval Office, while Camilla and the First Lady, Melania Trump, led an educational event with students at the White House Tennis Pavilion.
