In a speech to the US Congress on Tuesday, King Charles III said the US-UK alliance "cannot rest on past achievements."

The call on the allies to continue work on their alliance comes as differences over the Iran war tests the relationship.

Charles III went on to quote British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who President Donald Trump has criticised for Britain's lack of help in prosecuting the Iran war.

"As my prime minister said last month: 'Ours is an indispensable partnership. We must not disregard everything that has sustained us for the last eighty years. Instead, we must build on it," Charles III said.

Charles is only the second British monarch to address a joint session of Congress. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, shared similar sentiments of partnership in 1991 on the historic ties between both countries and the importance of their democratic values.
