He\u2019s a high quality person. I love the job he did in Congress\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The rapport between the king and president continued as they met behind closed doors in the Oval Office, the royal aide said with \u201can awful lot of warmth and laughter\u201d amid serious topics.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Trump has repeatedly lambasted Prime Minister Keir Starmer, particularly over his stance on Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The palace aide denied any awkwardness over the differences in warmth of relationship, stressed the king\u2019s visit was on the government\u2019s request and there is \u201cnot a competition\u201d between the monarchy and Downing Street.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, the king and queen \u201chave been able to help the government\u201d, the aide said, and the king himself viewed the US leg of his trip as particularly \u201cpositive\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat looked like risk and challenge was also a phenomenal opportunity. One that was grasped in both hands by the King,\u201d the aide said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018A personal triumph\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>British media lavished praise on the visit: The Daily Telegraph called it \u201ca triumph\u201d and a \u201creassertion of our shared values\u201d, while for The Times, it was a \u201cstar-spangled success\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was a personal triumph,\u201d for Charles, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told AFP, citing the king\u2019s \u201csuperb\u201d speech to Congress, with \u201cbrilliant jokes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe got it right and every nuance seemed perfect. It pleased everybody,\u201d Fitzwilliams said of the address.<\/p>\n<p>The visit proved a \u201cboost\u201d at a \u201cvery difficult time for the monarchy,\u201d the royal expert said.<\/p>\n<p>Undergoing cancer treatment and after a bitter rift with his son, Prince Harry, Charles this year saw his brother, the former prince Andrew, arrested over ties to the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>Trump reacted to the royal visit by lifting whisky tariffs, a major trade concession, in honour of Charles.<\/p>\n<p>But Fitzwilliams urged caution on future consequences for the UK, citing Trump\u2019s \u201cunpredictability\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Trump \u201cloves all things British royal. But not necessarily the British government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>burs-am\/jj<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
