King Charles had one specific order during Donald Trump‘s recent visit to the United Kingdom that caused staff members to roll their eyes. The President of the United States made a three-day trip to London with Melania Trump for their second-ever official state visit. During their stay, they met with the royal family and visited Windsor Castle for the State Banquet. But a source claimed that the monarch’s instructions for his visit sparked quite the stir.
King Charles made sure Donald Trump got the optics he so loves, says source
Rob Shuter #ShuterScoop exclusively learned that about the staff’s reaction to King Charles’ instructions for President Donald Trump’s state visit. The monarch had reportedly urged aides to treat their guest “like a king for a day” in a special gesture. A source claimed that he knew how much “Trump loves the optics,” including the extravagant “carriages, the trumpets, the red carpets.”
Therefore, the king seemingly ensured the president enjoyed the full royal experience. The insider alleged that he had ordered his staff to make the politician “feel like he’s king for a day,” reasoning that it was “the best way to keep him happy.” Moreover, the crown bearer’s move was apparently strategic and logical, rather than sentimental.
A second source opined that Charles would rather “flatter” Trump for a few days during his visit than “risk a diplomatic headache.” One aide revealed that the monarch had choreographed every little detail, including their coordinating outfits, to the perfectly timed welcome. It appears he “gave the order, and the court delivered.”
However, not all of it went through without at least some reservations. Shuter’s report alleged that some staffers “rolled their eyes” at the king’s orders, but things went through smoothly at the end of the day.
