David Dimbleby Says King’s US Visit Is an ‘Embarrassment’ | BBC Radio 4 PM

Mar 31, 2026 | Buckingham Palace has confirmed King Charles and Queen Camilla will meet US President Donald Trump in a state visit to the United States in late April.

Speaking to Radio 4’s PM, BBC Royal Occasion presenter David Dimbleby said the planned visit is an “embarrassment” and it is not “an appropriate time to go”.

The veteran broadcaster also said he has “pity” for the King because “he’s at mercy of the government”.
