Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

June 13, 2026

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my warm congratulations to His Majesty King Charles III, Her Majesty Queen Camilla, and the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland on the occasion of His Majesty's Official Birthday.

Our nations are united by shared traditions, a common language, and an enduring commitment to the strength and prosperity of both our peoples. This year we had the honor of welcoming the King and Queen to the United States for a magnificent State Visit and we look forward to working with the United Kingdom to expand economic opportunity, strengthen energy security, and defend our shared interests around the world.

On this special occasion, I offer my best wishes to the people of the United Kingdom. May the friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom continue to grow even stronger in the years ahead.
