King Charles Jokes, Shakes Hands, Addresses Congress

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. King Charles cut short a long line of handshakes during his official White House welcome on the south lawn. The 77-year-old monarch and his 78-year-old wife, Queen Camilla, were there for the second day of their U.S. state visit after A. Private greeting from President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump the day before. He shook hands with top officials like Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Higgseth, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. Then he threw up his hands, cracked a joke they got laughs, and headed to the stage with Trump stepping in to finish the line. No big surprise, given their pack schedule. They arrived in Washington yesterday, had a huge garden party at the British Embassy with over 600 guests from both sides of the pond, and Camilla even owned up to feeling slightly jet lag from the travel grind.

1:00Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, chatted with the king at that party and called him very personable, saying he handles these big events like a pro, without missing a beat. Up next, King Charles delivers a rare address to a joint session of Congress this afternoon, only the second British monarch to do so after Queen. Elizabeth back in 1991. And it's a state dinner with the Trumps tonight, wrapping up a whirlwind visit on a high note.
