King Charles’s July 4 message was a congratulatory note to the U.S. marking its 250th independence anniversary. He said the U.K. and U.S. have a relationship “founded on friendship, trust and a belief in liberty,” and that they would continue defending “shared values.”

  • He praised the transatlantic bond as one of “extraordinary evolution,” from past conflict to a close alliance.
  • He said the connection between the two peoples would “only grow stronger with time.”
  • He sent warm wishes to President Trump and the American people for the milestone.

Short version

In plain English: he used July 4 to celebrate the U.S., emphasize U.K.-U.S. friendship, and highlight liberty, the rule of law, and dignity as shared values.
