"British officials have pushed for the Oval Office meeting between the monarch and the US president to be held off camera for fear of a repeat of the scenes when Trump berated the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in front of the world's press."
"In his speech, the king is expected to reflect that while the UK and US have not always agreed on all matters over the past 250 years, the foundations of their democratic, legal and social traditions stretching all the way back to Magna Carta are such that time and again our two countries have always found ways to come together."
King Charles and Queen Camilla are visiting the US, greeted by Donald and Melania Trump at the White House. Most events are closed to media, with a private meeting planned to avoid public confrontation. Charles will address lawmakers, highlighting UK-US relations and recent tensions. He is expected to emphasize the historical ties between the two nations, despite disagreements. The visit comes amid Trump's controversial remarks about the UK and a recent assassination attempt on him outside the White House.
