King Charles' US Visit: Politics or Pageantry?

King Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to the United States is already being hailed as a diplomatic triumph - but can royal charm do what politicians have failed to? Sarah Vine is joined by the Daily Mail's Richard Kay, reporting live from New York, to unpack every extraordinary moment of the first British state visit to the US since 2007. From Charles's barnstorming congressional address, complete with 13 standing ovations and some very cheeky jokes, to the story of HMS Trump's bell and a White House-shaped beehive, the king has navigated a diplomatic minefield with remarkable aplomb. But with Harry taking potshots from Montecito, Andrew lurking in the background, and a new British ambassador already in hot water, there's no shortage of drama. So what does this visit really mean for the special relationship?Hear more from Richard Kay and the Mail's other royal experts on the royal talk show Palace Confidential - on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
