King Charles hosts Trump’s lavish UK visit amid protests and deals. Is the royal sacrifice worth it? Dive into the controversy!

London, September 19, 2025 – King Charles III faces scrutiny after hosting US President Donald Trump for a second state visit, marked by grandeur and tension. From September 16-18, Windsor Castle saw a guard of honor, carriage procession, and a £250B tech deal with PM Keir Starmer, yet protests erupted with “Go home Trump” signs.

Charles, alongside Camilla, William, and Kate, greeted Trump privately to dodge backlash. Trump dubbed Charles a “dear friend” (misnaming him Prince), while Charles broke protocol with a warm welcome, praising the US-UK alliance. Critics, including The Mirror’s Emily Sheffield, question if this royal fawning sacrifices Charles’s dignity for fragile ties and tariffs.

Starmer’s flattery drew “sickening” jabs, and the visit ended with a presser on borders and Ukraine. But with Britain’s influence waning, many ask: will it all be worth it?
