News King Charles faces what is likely to be the greatest diplomatic test of his reign next month after Buckingham Palace confirmed his state visit to the US to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. But as if to highlight the diplomatic tight rope Charles and Queen Camilla must walk, the announcement came less than an hour after US President Donald Trump launched another blistering attack on the UK for failing to give more direct help on his attack on Iran. With Trump launching a series of public attacks on Keir Starmer, the visit will raise fears in both Downing Street and the Palace that the King may have to endure a public tirade against the Prime Minister by the US President. Royal experts said the trip has the potential to be both “tense” and a “diplomatic nightmare” and will call on all the King’s diplomatic skills, honed over a lifetime of royal visits.
