About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of King Charles III's visit to Washington amidst global tensions and scrutiny over Prince Andrew.
King Charles III is heading to Washington for his first visit as monarch — and the timing is anything but simple. The king will address Congress and attend a state dinner with President Donald Trump. But the visit comes amid rising global tensions, including divisions over Iran and uncertainty about the future of NATO. It also unfolds against the backdrop of renewed scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. So what can the monarch actually accomplish in a moment like this?
