I don't think that was not deliberate.

And he talked about Ukraine and the importance of helping Ukraine.

And at one point, he clearly talked about the potential excesses of executive power.

Just have a listen to this phrase, because this was aimed quite firmly at those who wanted to over-exaggerate their role and to all those who might be allowing that to happen.

He gets a big round of applause there and a standing ovation.

Clearly, the Democrats are on their feet there, but also a lot of Republicans.

And the King delivers it with that extraordinarily mellifluous voice and is at times quite cheeky.

And I was doing a bit of digging around.

I said, who's the speechwriter behind this to somebody in the know?

And I was told it's a team effort, but likely to be Joshua Pools, who is the private secretary on Commonwealth Matters,

who worked for Charles right back when he was the Prince of Wales and is now doing a stint at Buckingham Palace.

So in other words, somebody who knows Charles inside out and will have understood the remit of this, which was to reach into places that very few other international leaders, frankly, would dare to go.

Isn't that the point, though?

But that's the point.

When a monarch feels, when a monarch who is unelected can still start lecturing, you know, a republic on how they abuse power...

then America is in a funny old place, right?

I think that's right.

But make no mistake, I think that was a roast.

I think it was an actual royal roast.

And if you go away and if Trump... That's got to be grouse, surely.
