King Charles and Queen Camilla had a packed second day of his royal tour of the U.S. After a military welcome at the White House - where Donald Trump joked about his mother having a crush on the King - the King then delivered a historic speech to Congress, where he advocated for the UK-U.S. Special Relationship, Ukraine, NATO, and the environment. That was all before a swanky state dinner - where Trump alleged during his speech that the King agreed with his position that Iran shouldn't have a nuclear weapon.
On this episode of The Royal Tea, Jeremy Kyle is joined by Talk's Royal Correspondent Rupert Bell to discuss the tour - with Bell calling in the most important days of the King's reign so far, and how the tour is reiterating the Royal Family's role in representing Britain.
And Talk reporter Samara Gill joins Jeremy to discuss how Charles is showcasing the best of Britain and putting a real charm offensive on to win over Trump.
And Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Dickie Arbiter, former Press Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, discuss the King's soft diplomacy during his speech, and how the personal relationships play a key role in diplomatic relations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
More from The Royal Tea
Prince Harry has spoken out once again, this time talking to GQ about his move back to the UK. And in the chat, the Duke of Sussex said that he wants to reconcile with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. Yet, despite saying that he wants to move on from the years-long rift, Harry still made a point of saying that 'scars stick around forever', and that while he wants to reconcile, 'some people don't want to work it out'.
As Earl Spencer releases his bombshell memoir about Princess Diana, Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by broadcaster Piers Morgan, who is suing Spencer and his publisher over what he calls a ‘complete lie’.
Earl Spencer’s bombshell book takes aim at the King and the Royal Family nearly 30 years after the tragic death of Princess Diana. He alleges that the then Prince Charles was ‘gladly elated’ upon hearing of her death and claimed that she would ‘be forgotten’.
Meghan Markle is reportedly 'on edge' with nerves about doing the school run now that she is back in the UK, due to her and Prince Harry not receiving proper security. It comes as the Sussexes are still eyeing public funding for their security, with a source telling The Sun that the Duke and Duchess have barely left their new home since returning to England.
It has been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle only gave officials a fortnight's warning before moving back to the UK. Security officials need 28 days notice to properly arrange security for the pair if they plan on coming back to the UK, but sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex say that, even then, the couple only get given a phone number - so why should they give more warning?
