Trump hails 'the greatest King' after triumphant State Visit: President heaps praise on 'really great' Charles and Queen Camilla as royals pay their respects at Arlington Cemetery
Daily Mail ^ | April 30, 2026 | Rebecca English

President Trump hailed Charles as 'the greatest King' today as he left with Queen Camilla following a triumphant four-day State Visit.

Their Majesties were welcomed back to the White House and bid a formal farewell to the US leader and First Lady Melania in the Diplomatic Reception Room after they spent the day in New York yesterday.

Royal aides were said to be grinning like Cheshire Cats at the perceived 'triumph' of the visit.

Especially after little more than an hour after Their Majesties left the White House, The President posted a remarkable message on his Truth Social media site, revealing he was removing whisky tariffs in their 'honour'.

He said that while 'people have wanted to do this for a long time' the King and Queen 'got me to do something that nobody else was able to do'.

The Scottish and UK governments had been lobbying the Republican to end tariffs on the industry, as the US is the single biggest market for Scotland's whisky.

One royal insider told the Daily Mail: 'Both the President and First Lady couldn't have been more lovely and hospitable. Really they were. It's been a wonderful visit.'

The couple arrived in an official car to be greeted by the President and First Lady outside of the South Portico, posing for photographs after a little rearranging on the red carpet.

President Trump pointed to the King and said: 'He's a great King.'

King Charles paid a touching tribute earlier today in his final engagement - a visit to Arlington Cemetery in Virginia, one of the United States' most significant sites of military remembrance.

The monarch, 77, and Queen Camilla were greeted with a 21-gun salute as the royal couple arrived, followed by performances of God Save the King and Star-Spangled Banner.

Donald is being modest, Charles is the second greatest.

I feel bad for people who still take Trump literally...they must get their feathers ruffled numerous times per day.

Scotland’s whisky, prefer rye.

No kings protests are tomorrow. When Trump said Charles was the ‘greatest king’ it sounded like a double edged sword to me. ;)

It’s just his nature.

If someone treats him nice, he’ll treat them nice.

There it is -

Republicans swipe at Democrats applauding King Charles after ‘No Kings’ protests

Senator Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) asked on the social platform X, “Why did I just watch every Democrat in Congress stand and clap for an actual King?” The Florida Republican included screengrabs of her Democratic colleagues rising to applaud the British monarch during his address to a joint meeting of Congress.

Charles wanted to be Camilla’s tampon. Gross. I would have volunteered to be Lady Di’s!

It’s hilarious to me how the entire world does not know it’s being master trolled by Trump.

No kings!

Trump and America are celebrity obcessed. Charles is worth even less than a bucket of warm spit.

Thanks for saying that. I’m not smart enough to know what game Trump is playing. He’s fluffing up the king in public. In private, I bet he gave him something to think about.

That might get zotted but hope not.

I was just responding to the guy who takes a simple comment of Trump’s so literally that he thinks a a distinction between an earthly king and Jesus isn’t already understood and needs to be made...
