Show Notes
In this episode, Roundtable unpacks King Charles’ historic four-day trip to America as part of its 250th anniversary celebration.
On his first official visit to the United States, the King addressed Congress and underlined the enduring UK-US ties, stating that both nations always find ways to come together.
The trip comes at a tense time for transatlantic relations with the US President repeatedly hitting out at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his refusal to assist with the war on Iran.
So, did the King and Queen’s ‘soft power’ bridge the current divide between the two nations and its so-called 'special relationship'?
Joining me to discuss this is:
Royal Editor Sarah Hewson
Political broadcaster Adam Boulton
Jennifer Ewing, Spokesperson for Republicans Overseas
