Please, really how would you wish him to behave?

Yes, I’d like to know, too.

He has handled this situation extremely well. Yvette Cooper has stepped up, too.

You might have a long wait.

The King should keep visiting until the average Briton knows where Canada is.

Canada is situated just above that odd former colony sadly full of hillbillies, those peculiar Trad Wives, Proud Boys and the Ku Klux Klan.

None of that is certainly not mentioned in the tourist brochures.

The king is a canny operator and I’m sure he can stand on his own two feet, whilst deferring anything questionable to the foreign secretary.
I don’t think he should go and pander to Trump’s ego, but just have to accept that it’s a case of respecting the post rather than the current incumbent.

The US of A will still be there when Trump is a paragraph on the third page of the newspaper lining the trash can. The King is visiting that America, not the one that Trump mistakenly thought he was making great again.

Indeed.

King Charles will diplomatically handle POTUS, return home, and life will be the same - until America has new leadership.

Pretty sure the average Brit knows very well where Canada is and that the only things it has in common with the USA is sharing a continent and a border.

I don't think we're going to get an explanation for that rather random observation!

I realise there are those who collectively hold less than flattering opinions about the average IQ of certain nations, but I didn't think GB was among those countries with a reputation for ignorance.

Not sure where LonnBestemor resides, but judging by the user name, she/he may have origins or ancestry in Norway, a country which, from my experience, is not known for having a 'downer' on GB!

... still - it's a pretty weird comment.

If the King visits the USA at the end of April this is surely interfering in America’s democracy. This visit will be seen as the King endorsing and approving Trumps behaviour and threats towards the UK.
I can not understand why this visit is going ahead. If it does it will shake my belief and support of the Monarchy.
What do you think?

Yesterday, I was disappointed to be informed that King Charles' visit to the US was for the purpose of improving UK relations with the US.

I had previously believed King Charles' visit was to be an attempt by this seasoned diplomat to make Trump a little less dangerous.

Caleb - diplomacy at work in the wording 🌞

I am sure Trump's sensibilities will potentially be more flattered (any attempts at persuasion) by reading the former purpose than the second (let's all keep our fingers crossed)....

Where will the King and entourage stay when visiting the USA?

Not at The White House, surely although it was rumoured.
I would have thought at the British Ambassador's residence. At least it's not still Mandelson now.

Love it, Elegran!

That America is gone.
