At a King’s Trust event held in London on Monday, Rod Stewart lauded King Charles for his recent visit to the United States and summit with Donald Trump, telling him: “You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little ratbag in his place.” Charles appeared to laugh at Stewart’s remark.

During his state visit last month, Charles emphasized the “indispensable alliance” between the United State and United Kingdom while also reminding Trump that America might be “speaking French” if not for the Brits. He also spoke for Congress, where he called on America’s continued defense of Ukraine and the stressed the importance of NATO.
