Yeah.

And remind us, why is Charles there anyway?

Yeah.

And so it seems that this visit is basically yet another attempt to shore up the fated special relationship, which it seems even our own new ambassador to Washington, the UK ambassador, doesn't even believe in.

He was caught on some kind of hot mic from some schoolchildren, I think, according to the FT, saying that the real special relationship that the US have is with Israel and not the UK.

And so the speech at the White House dinner was only the second one that Charles gave on Tuesday.

The first one was to Congress, which is historic for reasons that we've already mentioned.

And even though he, as the monarch, is supposed to stay out of politics, there was kind of, you would say,

potentially a thinly veiled plea for the US to return to its traditional values when he was discussing the importance of NATO and the defence of Ukraine.

How significant do you think that was?

You need to be able to speak British.

That's right.

And you mentioned the rather oblique reference actually to the Epstein case.

What Charles actually said was that both the UK and the US support victims of some of the ills that so tragically exist in both of our societies today.

I mean, it's probably not a surprise that he wasn't going to name Epstein given his own brother's name.

well documented relationship with the late sex offender and indeed Trump's own relationship with him.

I mean do you think that was still quite a bold move because when he was arriving in the US he was under quite a lot of pressure him and Camilla to actually meet with some of Epstein's victims.

And so we're talking on Wednesday, day three of this four-day visit.

What else is in store for the King and Queen Camilla?

Definitely.
