Donald Trump reveals King Charles and Queen Camilla's reaction to the White House

Donald Trump has disclosed that King Charles and Queen Camilla were deeply impressed by the White House during their recent State Visit, describing the presidential residence as "amazing."

Speaking at a gathering of small business owners in Washington DC on Monday, the US President shared Their Majesties' reactions to his official home.

"The King and Queen were just here, and they looked, and they said, 'This place is just amazing'," Mr Trump told attendees.

He added that Charles and Camilla had been particularly struck by the Oval Office, noting: "When they came into the Oval Office, they said, 'This is something'. And they've seen some very nice places."

The King and Queen wrapped up their four-day American trip last Thursday, timed to coincide with the nation's 250th anniversary of independence.

Their demanding itinerary encompassed afternoon tea with President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House, followed by a formal white-tie dinner held in their honour.

King Charles also delivered a landmark speech to Congress during the visit.

The tour concluded with a festive street celebration in rural Virginia, complete with traditional bunting decorations.

The rapid succession of engagements represented a significant diplomatic effort during a period of strained relations between Britain and the United States over the conflict in Iran.

The charm offensive proved diplomatically fruitful, with President Trump announcing the scrapping of tariffs on Scotch whisky following the visit.

This decision represents a substantial victory for the Scottish whisky industry, which had been subject to American import duties.

The tariff removal came as the royal visit sought to strengthen transatlantic ties during a particularly fractious period in UK-US relations.

He stated: "I'm thrilled to be with you and welcome you to the most fabulous place, the White House.

"There is nothing quite like it."
