He&#8217;s fantastic. He&#8217;s a fantastic man. The answer is absolutely yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know him well, I&#8217;ve known him for years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He&#8217;s a brave man, and he&#8217;s a great guy. They&#8217;ll be absolutely positive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>King Charles is heading to the United States for the most high-profile visit of his reign so far, on a mission to salvage the future of the two allies&#8217; &#8220;special relationship&#8221;, which has been plunged to its lowest level in 70 years by the Iran war.<\/p>\n<p>The state visit marks the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence from British rule, when the then 13 American colonies decided to secede from King George III, Charles&#8217;s five-times great-grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>For Charles, it will be a moment to reflect on how Britain and the United States have come together to form the world&#8217;s closest security, military and economic ties, while for US President Donald Trump it will be another chance to extol his love for the British royals.<\/p>\n<p>It also comes against the backdrop of the worst relations between the two countries since the Suez crisis in 1956, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer repeatedly criticized by Trump over his refusal to join the attack on Iran and dismissive comments about Britain&#8217;s military capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Charles, accompanied by his wife Queen Camilla, will begin the four-day visit on Monday with a private tea with Trump before addressing Congress, a state dinner and a tour of New York and Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham Palace has said it will not meet any of Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s survivors. Charles&#8217; brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested in February on suspicion of leaking government documents to the late American sex offender.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script
