Britain-Royal Visit

FILE - In this June 8, 1939 file photo, Queen Elizabeth asks Girl Scout Leah Burket about a medal just after the girl had presented her Majesty with a bouquet on behalf of the 3,000 Girl Scouts who paraded on the lawn of the White House in Washington. King George VI is at right. It's been 100 years since Juliette Gordon Low recruited the first scouts in Georgia. Low's original registration book from March of 1912 shows 102 recruits. Now there are 2.3 million active Girl Scouts nationwide.

Despite Iran tensions, King Charles III will follow his mother's lead in celebrating US-UK bonds

King Charles III embarks on a state visit to the U.S. on Monday, aiming to strengthen ties between the two nations. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, set a high bar with her 1991 speech to Congress, highlighting shared democratic values. Charles is likely to echo these themes as he celebrates America's 250th birthday. The visit includes a commemoration of the Sept. 11 attacks and a tribute to fallen service members. Despite political tensions, Charles will seek to emphasize the enduring friendship between the U.S. and the U.K. His speech to Congress will likely aim to unite lawmakers across party lines, focusing on long-term bonds over short-term disputes.
