the chaos and shooting in uS at a presidents dinner - is this the excuse not to attend the US by King Charles?

I don’t think so. Cancelling now would imply that the U.S. couldn’t provide adequate security for the visit. And the King will travel with his own security personnel.

If I were the King I would be looking for any excuse possible to get out of it.

No one has issues with KC3. US security will be on high alert.

Yes he needs to grab this opportunity

Obviously the US can keep him safe, but if the King didn’t really want to go/ if Downing Street no longer feel it’s necessary, this is a perfectly acceptable excuse to cancel (or rather, postpone and fail to reschedule) that won’t cause embarrassment to either side.

No he'll go they are just talking about revised security possibly.

Mylovelygreendress · 26/04/2026 18:07

If the U.K. Government want him to go , he will go . It’s his job !

Reddog1 · 26/04/2026 18:33

I think that the only reason whereby he’d withdraw would be ill health.

And whilst I don’t admire the man, I don’t think he’d use that as an excuse.

So if the gov still wants him to travel, he’ll do it I reckon.

why let terrorists win ?

EmpressSisi · 26/04/2026 19:26

They’re still going.

Buckingham Palace have confirmed it.

Someone fired a gun at Charles, years ago, and he just looked bemused and fiddled with his cuff. I can't see him cancelling out of fear and it's up to the government to make that decision anyway.

tinytemper66 · 26/04/2026 20:26

Going ahead!

KC will do as he’s told by the government. It’s his job.
