All the moments you might have missed from the King's state visit with Donald Trump
About this episode
The episode discusses King Charles's state visit to America and its implications for UK-US relations.
Did the King perform a diplomatic masterclass or could it come back to bite him? This week, Chris and Lizzie join Charlene from Washington DC where they have been covering King Charles's state visit to America, to mark 250 years of US independence. The royal team travelled straight from Ukraine, where they had been exclusively filming with Prince Harry. After landing in Washington DC, they have covered Charles and Camilla's arrival, the White House reception, the state dinner and the King's iconic speech to Congress. So did Charles overstep the mark with his references to Ukraine, the Magna Carta, the Middle East war and NATO? Or did he successfully navigate one of the biggest challenges of his reign so far and single-handedly save the UK-US 'special relationship'? Plus, the team recount travelling to New York, where the royals took part in a moment of reflection almost 25 years since the 9/11 terror attacks. And in a touching moment, Chris and Lizzie explain why they feel so grateful to have witnessed these historic events.
