Russell Myers, the Mirror’s Royal Editor and a regular contributor to the Royal podcast Pod Save The King, observed a week filled with political posturing and buzzwords as the Trump administration took center stage.
The special relationship between the UK and the US was prominently displayed by King Charles at Windsor and the Prime Minister at Chequers, with military and monarchy showcasing to impress the US President.
Soft power diplomacy and the relationships among key global players were emphasized during the visit. Noteworthy were the contributions of the women supporting the influential figures who dominated the headlines.
The Queen and the Princess of Wales demonstrated grace and composure, with Camilla and the princess subtly ensuring the comfort of their American guests. Camilla’s poise and the princess’s poker face were instrumental in setting a positive tone for the successful visit.
Following Trump’s departure to meet with Sir Keir Starmer, Camilla guided the First Lady on a historical tour of Windsor Castle, while Kate arranged a cheerful encounter for Melania with young Scouts, promoting themes of nature and kindness.
The Chief Scout, Dwayne Fields, commended the First Lady for creating a nurturing environment that allowed the children to engage and enjoy themselves despite the public setting.
As the visit concluded, one can only hope that the essence of the special relationship resonates with President Trump as he reflects on the successful diplomatic exchange.
