I've never been a royalist, always been pretty agnostic as far as the royal family are concerned and more recently with the Andrew revelations, have thought it's time they were disbanded.
But I have to say, Charles has played a blinder in the USA this week. Without offering deals or making commitments, he has used his position and his charm, to really materially improve UK-US relations which could be immensely important to the "special relationship". Well done Charlie.

Similar to you, never been a Royalist ( or rabid anti Royal ), but have always liked Charles.

Plus, he's been royally(pun intended) taking the piss out of Trump and it's flown entirely over his head.

Trump likes hanging out with a real life King of England like some hayseed American tourist but I suspect he couldn't give a flying feck about the rest of us.

Charles is quite competent at reading out a speech that has been prepared for him. A bit like his mum, except she sounded more wooden.

I’m not sure there’s any evidence that the trip has improved US Uk relations.

Expect Trump to quickly revert to pre-state visit behaviour.

I don’t actually think that ‘soft power’ is a thing. Sure a lot of world leaders enjoy the pomp and ceremony as well as mixing with royalty. But then they go back home and it’s business as usual.

But it was a great speech.

So, what you're saying is that he's Paul Lambert to Liz's Mick Mccarthy?

I strongly suspect the visit will have absolutely no benefit whatsoever as long as Trump is there imo. You can’t trust a word Trump says and he’ll happily pivot from hosting Charlie this week to slagging us off and upping tariffs on us next week.

We’ve been here so many times with Trump and any hints of progress are always a false dawn.

Same here. Lady Dollers pulled up his speech on youtube (I wasn't planning on watching it) but I thought it was superb, funny and made me strangely proud.

The gift of a bell end surely wasn't completely innocent?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I’ve always been a 100% Parliamentarian, New Model Army and all (would have kept fun and Christmas, mind). I’d have got rid of the lot decades ago.

However you are spot on, LegendoftheP. He played a complete blinder. Well done him and his team.
