Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is an upcoming Royal visit to the United States.  

King Charles will address a joint meeting of Congress as well as meet privately with US President Donald Trump later this month.  

British lawmakers are questioning whether the visit should go ahead, as the relationship between the two countries is unusually delicate.  

Royal Correspondent Robert Hardman told Mike Hosking that any trip holds a risk, but cancelling this visit would be a greater risk.  

He says that Trump is a royalist, and on previous visits has gone out of his way not to embarrass the Royals while they’re there.  

“Now, of course, what he says before and after is another matter, but I don't think there's going to be a toe-curling moment for the King while he's on the ground.”
