Was this King Charles' most important diplomatic speech ever?

King Charles and Queen Camilla received a warm welcome in an unusually united Congress, arriving on the dais, the three-tiered platform at the front of the chamber, to sustained applause from US lawmakers in a speech that highlighted a "truly unique" alliance amid a fractured transatlantic relationship.
In the packed chamber, the King thanked the American people “on behalf of the Queen and myself” for welcoming them to the US to mark the semi-quincentennial year of the Declaration of Independence, telling the lawmakers gathered that the relationship between the UK and US was built on 250 years of shared principles and "past achievements".
