Charles’ True Feelings Toward Trump Exposed Before State Visit—He ‘Viscerally Despises’ the President
King Charles is set to touch down in the United States to meet with President Donald Trump on April 27, 2026, and all eyes are already on what could be a headline-making encounter. Things might also become tense, as former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown claimed via her Substack that Charles “viscerally despises” the president.
Brown said there’s a chance Trump could make Charles uncomfortable, especially because of the tense relationship between Washington and London due to disagreements involving British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the U.S. military strategy in Iran.
A source reiterated this to RadarOnline, saying, “The expectation is that Trump would not hold back in assigning responsibility if Charles stops his visit, and would almost certainly point the finger at Starmer and the British government, framing it as a political slight rather than a diplomatic decision.”
If something like this does happen, Brown noted that Charles will handle the situation accordingly and keep his distaste for Trump to himself.
“In the unlikely event the president in his speech trashes the British PM as a malingering ally, Charles will look down and fiddle with his gold signet ring, then proceed unfazed with an elegant oration about what was broken in 1776 quickly repaired…hands across the ocean in two world wars…shoring up of democracy at a time of peril…side by side in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc” she wrote.
Despite this speculation, Brown said that the palace sees this visit “as a pleasing opportunity both to blur the frayed transatlantic reality and to big up the monarch at home.”
“It reminds the UK that, for all the recent familial catastrophe with Andrew (whose personal interests of golf, greed, and girls align more closely with those of POTUS than those of the cultured, spiritually evolved King Charles), its head of state is one of the few people in public life who still know how to behave,” she added.
