I am just horrified Charles and Camilla are going to US ? Does anybody else feel the same way. ( I am sure they are not relishing the thought either 🤣).
Likely British “soft diplomacy’ and they are going at request government.
Trump has crossed a line into fascism .. there is a point at wish you draw a line in the sand and I think the current US regime is the line.

Recent royal visits have included Kenya, South Africa, etc. They go a lot of places where the government has some bad aspects.

I acknowledged our own bad people by saying we don’t need more from other places visiting us, but yes, you can keep your Royal Family who are full of sex offenders, liars, scammers and adulterers.

Trump is in awe of Charlie-boy, just because he's a king, which is obviously how the Orange Shitshow sees himself.
However, I really wouldn't be surprised if the clown embarrasses himself by criticising the UK while giving one of his 'stream of bullshit' speeches.

The US is a democratic country, and a major ally. The Government requires the King to go.
Whilst we may not like certain elements/people in the US, the King and Queen are visiting the nation to celebrate the 250th anniversary of their independence from us. They are not visiting just one individual.
I'm sure King Charles will handle the whole visit absolutely correctly and appropriately.

This, exactly. Trump is just a temporary pimple on the face of the US and will soon be gone. The state visit is about much longer term relations between two nations.

We are all going to die of Cringe.

I’m not too pleased they’re coming here to visit us. Charles, with his disgusting mother helped cover up Andrew’s sex crimes for years. The family paid off his victim. We have enough problems of our own without inviting more bad people here.

Trump is appalling, but given Prince William just went to Saudi, I think the nature of the government is nigh on irrelevant.

They must be bracing themselves for how embarrassing Trump will be though. What I wouldn’t give to hear their unguarded thoughts after!

The UK's relationship is with the USA, not Trump. A dreadful ordeal for C&C but it gives me some pleasure to know they will behave impeccably no matter what Trump does. No visit would risk Trump bellyaching to the world about how the UK had disrespected him. At least we'll be spared that.

He hasnt got a lot of choice I wouldnt have thought, he has to be a political.

I would hardly think they're looking forward to it

OnceUponATimed · 05/04/2026 00:07

YANBU its so embarrassing.

gaonimsc4 · 04/04/2026 23:51

I kind of agree. Russia invade Ukraine and we rightly cut as many diplomatic and financial ties as possible. America kidnaps Venezuela’s president, practically starves Cuba, threatens Greenland and starts bombing Iran and we barely tut. It’s such a double standard.

We had the Taoiseach visit him for St Patrick’s Day and I was incredulous. I don’t know if government leaders think these visits will do something that will change things but to me it seems incredible that they think there’s any point to them
