By true colors do you mean ; "not a fascist?"

lifeonmars100 · 02/03/2025 22:37

I saw something that mentioned Charlie Boy was wearing a blue suit with a yellow tie so he's favouring Ukraine's colours. Reminds me of the time when the Queen wore a brooch gifted to her by the Obamas when she had to host Trump. Speaking of the orange one, he will be not be happy about this given his mean girl level of hatred for Zelenskyy

Amen to that.

All we can do is pray for you and hope Trump doesn't start WW3.

Amen to that.

Yes indeed America! King Charles and the United Kingdom and its Prime Minister and parliament all showed their true colours today and yesterday. Not to mention the crowds cheering Zelensky in the streets. Warmly welcoming and supporting the brave leader of an allied nation who is standing up to the dictatorial aggression of an invading state. I was so proud to be British and to see this subtle but powerful rebuke of Trump's bullying and his support of Putin. Well done Starmer and King Charles. America should be embarrassed.

100% agree.

I think it was added onto the itinerary deliberately because Trump was so delighted by his very special invite to meet the King.

Zelensky getting to meet him first is a fuck you to Trump

I’d like to think this too. And I bet if it was anyone other than the King who had done it, Trump would have thrown his toys out of his pram and changed his mind about coming for the state visit.

I don’t see why this is Charles showing his true colours? He’s met Zelensky before and has expressed support so it’s not like he’s changed his tune.

Yeah, I didn't understand that either.

Thank you! I admit to being very confused about this thread....

Me too. I got worried when I saw the title, all I knew was they were meeting and I thought "how can that have gone wrong".

explain your title pls OP

and what's with the HA?

Radiatorvalves · 02/03/2025 22:10

I for one am very pleased that the monarch has publicly demonstrated support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

Yes to this.

Also, the monarch only meets world leaders under orders from the government.

What do you mean by 'showing his true colours' here OP? The articles linked generally portray the meeting in a positive light so it's a little confusing, unless you also meant the statement in a positive way.

CaravaggiosCat · 02/03/2025 22:05

Are you ok MsAmerica? The past couple of threads you've started have suggested otherwise.

rumblegrumble · 02/03/2025 21:59

Weird title, makes it sound like he's been overheard on a hot mic saying he loves Trump or something. Monarch of nation that - along with the rest of the 'civilised' world - supports the Ukrainian president, supporting the Ukrainian president, is hardly surprising. I'd be astonished if he didn't. I'm very happy we as a country are making it so clear.

Showing his true colours...🙄

Charles is following the stated UK government position on Ukraine... full support in the face of Russian aggression. If he's doing so with genuine enthusiasm, good for him, but either way he does as the government of the day directs.

I recall the time in 2015 when Charles skipped the State banquet during the visit of the President of China and won a lot of brownie points. Sadly as King he will less able to make such personal statements, the Governemnt of the day determine his schedule regarding foreign dignitaries.

He could very easily have said, "Lovely idea, let's meet in a few months at our usual place" rather than "Come over Sunday evening while I'm chilling at home"

It wasn't an impromptu playdate. It was a scheduled meeting. And being 'fully supportive', warm and welcoming of the country fighting a Russian invasion is government policy. Carrying out government policy is Charles' job, and he's well paid to work on Sundays, often does.

Lindy2 · 02/03/2025 21:48

Showing his true colours? (colors - are you American?)

Charles was carrying out royal duties. That's what he does as King.

Do you know what ‘showing your true colours’ actually means?

I wonder if trump will try and hold Charles’ hand.
