Episode description
King Charles and Queen Camilla receive the full American welcome on a state visit designed to steady and reset the UK‑US relationship.
From a rare address to Congress to a carefully choreographed appearance at the White House, we unpack how the King delivered a pointed message to President Trump.
James Matthews and royal correspondent Laura Bundock also look at how the Palace has handled calls for the King to meet Epstein survivors and the unexpected distraction caused by a leaked recording of the UK’s new ambassador to Washington.
