King Charles made some jokes during the event:

Vanity Fair reported more on the special dinner:

On Tuesday night, King Charles III and Queen Camilla joined President Donald Trump, first lady Melania, and a long list of luminaries at the White House. After a day of events and engagements, they broke bread, rubbed elbows, and toasted to more than two centuries of friendship that followed the Revolutionary War. (And, okay, the War of 1812.)

When the royals host a banquet at Buckingham Palace, the dress code is usually white tie, which gives everyone an opportunity to break out their finest heirloom tiaras. But American state dinners tend to be comparatively more casual, with a black-tie dress code—except, it seems, for this year. Tonight, according to CNN, Trump hosted America’s first white-tie dinner since 2007, and the first lady wore a pink Dior gown.

Though etiquette rules might have allowed for a tiara, the queen’s head was unadorned. She had a priceless piece from the royal jewelry collection hanging from her neck. The queen wore an amethyst necklace that once belonged to Queen Victoria’s mother, the Duchess of Kent. The queen herself wore the matching amethyst brooch on her trip to Washington in 1991.

Earlier Tuesday, King Charles III became the second British monarch to deliver an address in front of both houses of Congress after his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, addressed Congress in 1991. Though the speech was likely written by the government—in keeping with long-standing tradition that the monarch speaks for the government during high-profile oration—the king did find a way to put his own flair on a few of the jokes, and got plenty of laughs from Congress.

At the banquet, he continued to play up the humor, and his speech could be heard as a loving roast of the US-UK relationship—and his family’s role in it. “My family’s history remains reflected in your maps, which read rather like our Christmas card list across the ages,” he said. “North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and the cities of Charleston, a particular favorite of mine. Obviously, Georgetown, and for that matter, Georgia, Annapolis, as you mentioned, and further favorites, Prince William County and Williamsburg.”

He continued with a line that referenced an earlier speech of Trump’s. “Indeed, you recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German,” he said. “Dare I say that if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French?”

Here’s how the dinner concluded:
