King Charles III and Queen Camilla are heading to Washington — but is this the most politically charged royal state visit in modern history?
With the UK-US "Special Relationship" under unprecedented strain, a gunman at a White House dinner, the Falklands sovereignty row reigniting, and Donald Trump at his most unpredictable — what can Britain's greatest diplomat actually achieve?
In this exclusive interview, Dan Harris — former White House and Capitol Hill insider, now host of the Global Affairs Podcast @OverHereOverThere — gives the unfiltered American perspective on King Charles's high-stakes visit to Trump's Washington.
👉 What you'll find out in this episode:
- Why Americans are watching this state visit with "morbid fascination" - Can King Charles actually repair the Special Relationship — or is it already too late? - How the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is casting a shadow over the visit - Why BOTH sides of a divided America are desperately trying to work out: whose side IS the King on? - What this means for Trump's poll numbers, the midterms — and the future of the UK-US alliance - The Falklands, Iran, tariffs, Ukraine — and why this visit matters far beyond a royal photo op
