King Charles III joked he had “had enough” speeches before delivering brief remarks at the King’s Trust gala in New York City closing out his visit.
“I hesitate to make yet another speech because I have had enough,” the King said at the trust’s “Greater Together” event at Rockefeller Center.
He then emphasized the “enduring cultural bond” between the U.S. and U.K., adding: “We are truly greater together.”
Introduced by Lionel Richie, the King pointed to the Trust’s 50-year history supporting young people. “With opportunity and encouragement, potential and latent talent truly knows no bounds,” he said.
He also reflected on the organization’s impact, noting that many who benefited from the Trust later returned to support others, calling it a “wonderful, virtuous circle.”
Earlier, Charles and Queen Camilla greeted guests and mingled with attendees, including Anna Wintour, as the reception brought together cultural figures from both sides of the Atlantic.
The event marked the close of the New York leg of the royal visit before the couple returns to Washington, D.C.
