Backstage at the King’s state visit to the US by REBECCA ENGLISH,
On the final day of engagements on the King and Queen’s state visit to the US, we bring you a look behind the curtain from our Royal Editor.
Rebecca English shares how the King and President Trump managed the start of the high profile visit in the wake of an assassination attempt on the US president.
