King Charles and Queen Elizabeth’s visit to the U.S is ongoing. After arriving in Washington, D.C. on Monday, the royals spent time with President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House.

The relationship between the two countries has been troubled for some months, not least because Trump has stated that the U.K. has not fulfilled their duties as an ally to help it in Iran. Charles and Camilla are therefore on a somewhat diplomatic mission,

trying to mend relations between the two countries. On Tuesday night, the monarch delivered an address to Congress, in which he stated that the relationship between the United States and the

United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain important. “Standing here today, it is hard not to feel the weight of history on my shoulder – because the modern relationship between our two Nations and our own peoples spans not merely 250 years, but over four centuries. It is extraordinary to think that I am the nineteenth in our line of Sovereigns to study, with daily attention, the affairs of America,” King Charles said.

“So, I come here today with the highest respect for the United States Congress; this citadel of democracy created to represent the voice of all American people to advance sacred rights and freedoms.”

King Charles addressed Congress Charles continued, “Speaking in this renowned chamber of debate and deliberation, I cannot help but think of my late mother, Queen Elizabeth, who, in 1991, was also afforded this signal honour and similarly spoke under the

watchful eye of the Statue of Freedom above us. Today, I am here on this great occasion in the life of our Nations to express the highest regard and friendship of the British people to the people of the United States.”

King Charles and his Royal Family members are expected to remain strictly neutral in public politics. Meanwhile, they are not shy of raising issues in the world, which King Charles did just last week.

However, at that point, one royal expert suggested that King Charles might have taken a swipe at Donald Trump over the Iran war. In a televised speech to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 96th birthday, Charles explained how his mother had shaped the world around her and touched many lives.

Still, with everything that is going on in the world, she would have been concerned

Today, as we mark what would have been my beloved mother’s 100th birthday, my family and I pause to reflect on the life and loss of a sovereign who meant so much to us all, and to celebrate anew the many blessings of her memory,” King Charles said

King Charles reportedly took ‘swipe’ at Trump, expert claimed He continued, “Much about the times we now live in, I suspect, may have troubled her deeply, but I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail and that a brighter dawn is never far from the horizon,” Charles said. “God bless you, darling mama. You remain forever in our hearts and prayers.”

Appearing on Sky News, Kinsey Schofield claimed that the monarch’s tribute to his late mother was a “swipe” at Donald Trump and his war in Iran.

“I’m going to be honest, maybe I’m just sensitive … but I felt like that was a swipe at what’s going on in the United States between Donald Trump and Iran,” Schofield said.

“When he’s talking about global issues, I don’t think that’s a direct swipe at ex-prince Andrew, but I’d suggest she might be a little bit more worried about what’s going on at her back porch,” she added.

However, it didn’t take long before he made a shocking claim about King Charles and the conflict with Iran.

Donald Trump claims King Charles “agrees” with him over ‘Iran’s nuclear weapons’ Charles had not mentioned Iran specifically earlier on during the trip, nor in his speech to Congress. He only said the “conflict in the Middle East.”

However, Donald Trump claimed Charles supported him over the Iran crisis, something he previously also stated

We’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon
“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do. We’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. They know that, and they’ve known it right now, very powerfully,” he continued.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman told The Sun, “The King is naturally mindful of his Government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”
