GMB interrupted for King Charles and Trump bombshell: | UK News

ITV’s breakfast show Good Morning Britain was introduced to a halt this morning (April 15) as reporter David Harper introduced the latest updates on King Charles’ upcoming state go to to the US to meet with its president Donald Trump. New particulars have been launched in latest hours, with a full itinerary starting to come to mild.

Harper explained to viewers: “The King and Queen are going to spend four days on this American tour. It is a historic occasion – it is the first time that Charles has visited the US since he became king, and this will all start with a private tea hosted by President Trump and the first lady. They’ll also commemorate the 25th anniversary of the terror attack in New York that struck the World Trade Centre on September 11th, 2001.

“Charles and Camilla will attend celebrations in Virginia to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.”

“President Trump has clashed with Britain several times since returning to office. Sir Keir Starmer hopes that this visit will help to repair bonds between us, despite some calls for it to be cancelled.”

It wasn’t the worst news, as Harper explained: “Of course the other shadow hanging over this visit is Jeffrey Epstein. There have been requests for Charles and Camilla to meet survivors of the late paedophile during the trip.

“That’s now been ruled out, according to a royal source – the suggestion being that a meeting couldn’t take place because of ongoing legal investigations, both into Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship with the King’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

“The high point, though, should be when King Charles addresses both houses of Congress. This is only the second time that a British monarch has done this, the first time being Queen Elizabeth in 1991.

“So will this visit, as Downing Street and Buckingham Palace hope, iron out some of the disagreements between Washington and Westminster? Well, we’ll find out in around about two weeks’ time.”
