Monarch's gesture toward strengthening UK-US ties garners praise amid cancer battle
King Charles has reportedly received a positive response from the United States following a “secret” offer made to former President Donald Trump—one that could mark a historic moment in his reign.
According to the Daily Mail, the monarch is expected to extend a private offer during Trump’s upcoming state visit to the UK, proposing a symbolic role for the US within the British Commonwealth. The move, still under confidential discussion, is said to reflect the King’s interest in reaffirming the UK's strong ties with America.
“This is being discussed at the highest levels,” a royal insider revealed. “It would be a wonderful move that would symbolize Britain's close relationship with the U.S… Donald Trump loves Britain and has great respect for the royal family, so we believe he would see the benefits of this.”
In response, Trump shared The Sun’s coverage of the reported offer on his Truth Social platform, writing, “I love King Charles. Sounds good to me!”
Though largely symbolic—especially given that the US declared independence from Britain in 1776—Trump’s enthusiastic reaction has sparked renewed conversation about UK-US relations during a time of political uncertainty and transition.
The King’s reported outreach also comes as he continues his public duties amid his ongoing cancer battle, a show of resilience that has been widely praised.
