Key Points:

• King Charles joked at a state dinner that if not for the UK, the US would be speaking French, to which French President Emmanuel Macron responded on social media, calling it "chic."
• The royal couple will conclude their historic US tour with a visit to Virginia, including a parade, community meetings, and environmental discussions, before King Charles travels to Bermuda.
• During the visit, King Charles delivered a well-received, politically nuanced speech to the US Congress emphasizing NATO's importance and support for Ukraine, earning praise from figures like David Beckham.
• New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly stated he would ask King Charles to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond, a colonial-era jewel taken from India, sparking celebrations in India and ongoing discussions about its repatriation.
• Former US President Donald Trump praised King Charles as a "phenomenal representative" and suggested the monarch would have taken a different, more supportive approach to Iran than UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
