King Charles - job well done

MartavTaurus

^This man didn't write the speech. There would have been a number of individuals responsible for it. He is likely to have had a say in it, that is all.^
Did you not watch BBC News at 6 last night? It was reported that the King wrote the first draft for the speech. Tweaking and adding to it was a collaborative effort between the Palace and the government. Apparently Charles had a huge input, not just a little say in it.

I think that whatever he does will be wrong or not enough in the eyes of some republicans.

Looking at the state of some countries with Presidential systems over history and today, perhaps the repubicans should be careful what they wish for.

Yes, I know about Ireland ......😴

No doubt a collaboratively constructed speech, yet most likely with Charles having edit rights. No matter, it was very well delivered- and received with a standing ovation on both sides of Congress. A great achievement, soft diplomacy at it's very best and at a time most needed.

Yes, absolutely.

Interesting hiw KC didn't his American grandchildren as a another example of the UK's connection to America.

Well it would hardly have been fitting in the context of his government rep role.

Only half American.

Yes, I know what you mean but technically, there is no "half" in British subjects.

Half British/half American, but being raised in the US will make them more American, as such.

It would have been most inappropriate.

Yes.

They can be 'half' American and 'half ' British or, as it is termed, have dual nationality.

I should have said "Yes there is".

Honestly, talk about throwing a dead cat as a distraction

Indeed. shall we drop it? I dont think I could stand another lets attack them gossip thread and on GN

Or at least dragged into a really serious discussion valuing the Kings work in the USA.

For goodness sake, we don't blame Charles for his wretched brother.

Yes, Dead cat, 'look there's a squirrel".

You couldn't stand another 'let's attack them gossip thread'?
How upsetting for you!
I'm so sorry!
You can always just not read the thread?

Why should we not read and contribute to an interesting thread about how well most of us think King Charles's speech to Congress was received?

Attempts at distractions are the posts which should be ignored.
Your points are irrelevant in this context.

As Wyllow said shall we drop it?

Why write in in bold?

Best just ignore any posts that you think are irrelevant instead of responding and therefore calling more attention to them.

I copied the quote from Wyllow because I agreed with it.

Shall we drop it now?

So if I don't drop it, what will happen?
Will I get sent to the Headteacher's office?

1,000 lines ‘could do better!’

Trump calls out to someone as Charles and Camilla departed:
"We need more people like that in our country"

Well, you never spoke a truer word, Mr Trump! 😀

Well, there are: they just aren't "Kings".

You get put on the norty step in the corner of the classroom too.

.....and they wont let you go to the toilet.

I didn't think he should go but have been proved wrong. Charles in my opinion didn't put a foot wrong. He made very good speech which hopefully Trump actually listened to. What is clear is the esteem Trump holds for Charles so let's hope it's done some good. Never seen Melania so relaxed and smiling
