King Charles III is very concerned that President Donald Trump could launch into an unfiltered rant about immigration while standing alongside him during his state visit to the United Kingdom in September.
A civil servant also told the Daily Beast that there was a risk Trump could upend protocol and make politicized comments when delivering a traditional speech at his state banquet.
Trump claimed a horrible invasion of migrants was killing Europe while visiting Scotland on Friday, a friend of the monarch told the Daily Beast.
The palace was already anxious about Trumps visit because of his trolling of Canadaa British realm which counts the king as head of stateas the 51st state.

He should be. To call Trump a "loose cannon" is an insult to loose cannon's. On the other hand, the King is supposed to steer clear of "ALL" politics. I'm sure his ma and grandma pounded that into him.
It will be interesting to see what happens.

(2,518 posts)That could possibly cause Drumph to choke. Then, after hes carted off to a (gasp!) hospital that is part of a system of socialized medicine, his heart would seize up from fear.
The next day Orrex could write his most glorious post ever.

(8,774 posts)I'm nor aware of any modern monarch who has absolute powers. They all have Constitutions and Parliament s(some with two houses, some with one) and Prime Ministers who have the real power. Absolute leaders don't even want to call themselves kings any more - they use other titles. (That's true even in dystopian literature. Look at "Big Brother" in 1984) Yes, that's how much influence we have had on the world - when we were able to keep the Republic.

(13,494 posts)Something that allows Charles to send the pseudo-president to the Tower if he breaks protocol. That seems like something they would have.

Former Presidents Clinton & Obama have addressed the British Parliment.
My question is this why didn't Charles invite that man& his group of fools to Charles house- Highgrove Gardens in Gloucestershire instead of a state visit?
From an American woman to the people's of the UK....Have at him

(10,596 posts)The king had invited Trump for an informal visit to his country home, Balmoral, in a private letter which Trump flashed to the cameras after receiving it from British PM Keir Starmer.
Trump snubbed the kings idea, detailed in the letter, of a private visit, after making clear that his preference was for a full state visit first, which would not be overshadowed by an informal handshake picture.
