King Charles Heads to America as Trump, Harry and Andrew Questions Loom

King Charles Heads to America as Trump, Harry and Andrew Questions Loom

Author: Caloroga Shark Media / The Daily Royal Family Podcast April 1, 2026 Duration: 9:29
Buckingham Palace has now confirmed that King Charles and Queen Camilla will travel to the United States in late April for a major state visit — one that is already shaping up to be far more complicated than a standard royal tour.

The trip will celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, but it lands amid rising tensions with Donald Trump, renewed questions about whether Charles will see Harry, Archie and Lilibet, and fresh calls for the King to confront the Jeffrey Epstein shadow hanging over the monarchy.
We also hear from Deep Crown on why the real palace professionals will be trying to keep every other royal out of the frame — and why the Sussexes have a habit of doing the exact opposite.

Plus: Charles gets a very on-brand new flower show at Sandringham, Carey Mulligan is honored at Windsor Castle, and Buckingham Palace is reportedly worried that BBC cuts could weaken coverage of major royal moments when they matter most
