King Charles’s state visit to the United States underlined the monarchy’s enduring value on the world stage, with the King using wit, confidence and careful diplomacy to strengthen ties between Britain and America. His speeches won praise for mixing humour with reminders of the deep historic bond between the two countries, and his warm references to Prince William only reinforced the sense of a clear and stable royal future. In contrast, Harry and Meghan’s recent Australia trip looked far less significant, with critics viewing it as more commercial than constitutional. The article argues that while any family rift is sad, Charles’s successful tour showed that the monarchy remains a powerful national asset without any need for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
