Khaberni - Attention turns to the United States as King Charles III and Queen Camilla prepare to begin a diplomatic visit described as "the most important in his reign," aimed at restoring the "special relationship" between London and Washington, which has experienced noticeable tensions recently.
The visit is scheduled to last 4 days, during which King Charles will seek to use "soft power" to calm the atmosphere during an anticipated special meeting with Trump and Melania at the White House, according to insiders.
Strict protocols: No garlic and no bowing
Former officials at the White House and Buckingham Palace revealed to the "Mirror" newspaper the most detailed "guidance notes" in the history of royal visits, which included strict rules to ensure the meeting went without glitches:
No garlic and onions: Their use in meals was completely banned to avoid any undesirable smells during close conversations.
Bowing protocol: It was confirmed that Presidents of the United States do not bow to any other leader, with previous coordination for colors to avoid wearing black (the color of mourning) or white on certain occasions.
Diplomacy of gifts: The staff focuses on selecting gifts with symbolic and historical value to avoid past embarrassments, such as the incident where President Obama gifted an "iPad" to the late Queen Elizabeth, which some considered at the time to be an unfortunate gift.
"Political ballet"
Former employees described the atmosphere inside the White House during royal visits as resembling a "ballet," where everyone moves with extreme precision.
