Donald Trump allegedly asked King Charles if he was 'drunk' during the state dinner at the White House in Washington on Tuesday, according to a professional lipreader who analysed footage from the banquet.
The dinner was the centrepiece of the King's US tour, his second major overseas trip since ascending the throne. The White House staged the full ceremonial display, with Charles delivering a carefully pitched speech about the 'indispensable alliance' between Britain and the United States and the need to renew it at what he called a 'critical time.' On camera, the evening projected warmth, polish and mutual praise.
