"The former shadow defence secretary Clive Lewis said: “No one disputes the need for diplomacy with the US. That is realpolitik. But rolling out a state visit in the middle of an illegal war, led by a man doing profound damage to democratic norms, is not diplomacy; it is a profound misreading of the moment.”"

It is an insult to the rest of us, probably why it's going ahead.

Are we to think the King is some kind of Trump-Whisperer, and whatever assurances given for better behaviour will be remembered in a day?

It also seems a bit strange, when his own brother has been sanctioned for their involvement in the #Epstein files, that he would participate in a state visit with a leader who’s been mentioned in them over a million times. 🤔

Maybe Charles has taken offence to the "No Kings" protests and feels he needs to show his solidarity to other "would be" kings?
