Rather, there will be private conversations.

There will, of course, be a tea party at the British ambassador's residence.

Of course, there will, and other events.

But there won't be a sort of open press conference.

So over to the King for the King's speech to do some lobbying.

This is now the disgraced Andrew Mountainbatten-Windsor, who I must say, I suppose, has denied all the allegations that are put to him.

But you are right, there was a very active conversation about two weeks ago, maybe at the start of this month, as to whether he, King Charles, or she, Queen Camilla, would meet with any of the victims.

And that

debate ran for a few days and then it was knocked down by buckingham palace was it ever a real possibility i don't know had it been so i don't really see the king but it is very much in line with the work that the queen does very quietly over here in the uk in that she's hugely supportive of refuges for women who have been encountered some kind of sexual crime so it was kind of in line or in keeping but it was not to happen so you you are right to say that

you're so right and let's just pause and think and obviously i'm closer to it than perhaps some of your listeners because i've been in and around this business for decades one has to say that king charles views on the environmental issues on the green lobby were way way way ahead of his time and in credit to him what he was saying that caused derisory front page headlines that he was and i can remember something that he was nuts because he spoke to plants

And he was potty.

That was another one.

Potty Prince Charles, I'm so sorry, has been proven to be absolutely right.

You're right.

This does not sit well with a man, of course, who can drill, baby, drill.

But the king will have learned and watched his late mother, who was brilliant at it.

His father, perhaps not so much.

He could have his moments and cause the odd diplomatic incident, but he'll have seen them work with Chinese presidents and others.

So it will be a skill set absolutely in diplomacy.

Hugely demanding.
