Donald Trump's long-standing family ties with King Charles and his"tremendous respect" for the monarchy are diplomatic gold dust - so long as Prince Harry behaves
Starmer and his colleagues have spent the past few months trying to build ties with Trump and his team but face a few bumps in the road ahead.and Elon Musk – the billionaire X owner who has criticised Starmer over his handling of this summer’s race riots and claims of two-tier policing, and now inheritance tax raids on farmers – is a potential problem.
Evie Aspinall, director of the British Foreign Policy Group think-tank, said there would be much that the Starmer and Trump administrations would disagree on in the next few years so the UK would have to be creative in its diplomacy. “But he was genuine in his respect and his affection for the Royal Family. It is always the case that as head of state the King plays an important role.“We want to be generous with our American friends and as they will be, I imagine with us, particularly in a second term.”
Trump at least seems more interested in the UK and the monarchy than Harris.

“The whole thought of a member of the Royal Family being thrown out of the United States, especially given the special relationship, it would be very embarrassing for the Royal Family,” he said.
