King Charles prepares for a high-stakes visit to the United States, facing significant diplomatic challenges and a unique dress code for a royal garden party.

King Charles prepares for a high-stakes visit to the United States, with royal watchers calling it one of the biggest diplomatic tests of his reign. We look at the pressure surrounding the trip, the surprising “hats not encouraged” dress code for a royal-style garden party, and sharp commentary from Tina Brown and the Telegraph on the political and personal risks involved. Plus, the King gets a Green Blue Peter badge, and Deep Crown reflects on Princess Anne’s line about gardens, change, and what the monarchy is quietly becoming.
