King Charles, Trump And The Washington Visit: The Monarchy’s Latest Crisis

On this episode of The Royal Tea, Jeremy Kyle speaks to former Royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter about the deepening crisis surrounding Prince Andrew and what it means for the Royal Family. With Andrew effectively exiled at Sandringham and pressure mounting over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, the question is whether the monarchy can weather yet another storm.Dickie Arbiter, who worked closely with Queen Elizabeth II, gives a blunt assessment of the Duke of York — describing him as arrogant, deceitful and impossible to deal with — but insists the scandal threatens the family more than the monarchy itself. He explains why stripping Andrew from the line of succession is far more complicated than many people believe, requiring an Act of Parliament and agreement across the Commonwealth realms.Plus, Peter Cardwell speaks to Talk's Royal Correspondent Rupert Bell about the political pressures facing King Charles as tensions grow between Britain and the United States. With questions swirling around whether the King’s planned state visit to Washington should go ahead during a global crisis, the panel explores the delicate role of the Royal Family in diplomacy — and whether the monarchy is once again being forced to steady Britain’s relationship with America.
