King Charles Heads to Congress as William, Andrew and the Yorks Complicate Everything

King Charles Heads to Congress as William, Andrew and the Yorks Complicate Everything

Author: Caloroga Shark Media / The Daily Royal Family Podcast April 6, 2026 Duration: 8:30
King Charles will address the United States Congress on April 28 during his Washington visit, but the trip is already drawing chatter over Palace wording, diplomatic optics, and whether this is a warm royal visit or a very polished act of duty.

We also look at where Charles and Camilla are likely to stay in Washington, fresh claims that Charles is pushing William to become more diplomatic as he prepares for kingship, and reports that Beatrice and Eugenie may be brought back into view at Royal Ascot — a move that could further inflame tensions with William.

Plus: the father-son divide over Andrew appears to be getting worse, and Charles is said to be losing patience with his brother’s latest housing complaints to the point where even the word “caravan” is now being floated.
