King Charles III became the second British monarch to address Congress, receiving a standing ovation from Democrats including Nancy Pelosi and Cory Booker, despite their prior 'No Kings' protests against President Trump.
Viral videos and social media posts highlighted perceived hypocrisy, as Democrats who joined 'No Kings' rallies warmly greeted the King during his U.S. visit, which included a state dinner with President Trump.
