Last February the White House released photos styling President Donald Trump as a king on social media. This week he got to host a genuine king, for the state visit of Charles III and Queen Camilla.
During this week, the royals have been paraded around Washington and New York as symbols of the once “special relationship” the British like to claim exists across the Atlantic.
That relationship has been increasingly strained by Britain’s refusal to take part in the current Iran war, which has led to acerbic comments by Trump against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
