“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do. We’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. They know that, and they’ve known it right now, very powerfully,” he continued.
The statement forced a Buckingham Palace spokesperson to respond. Speaking to The Sun, he said, “The King is naturally mindful of his Government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”
King Charles’ visit was praised by people in both the U.K. and the U.S., not least for the many jokes and the grace he showed. Meanwhile, as part of his non-political stance, he has not shared his true thoughts on Donald Trump.
However, another celebrity has now done so, and he did so when speaking to King Charles.
During an event at the Royal Albert Hall celebrating the monarch’s five decades with his charitable organization, The King’s Trust, Sir Rod Stewart and King Charles shared what GB News called an “uncomfortable moment”.
Backlash after Rod Stewart calls Trump “rat bag” while speaking to King Charles
Rod Stewart spoke briefly to King Charles when greeting him on the red carpet, mentioning the recent American state visit. However, he sparked backlash over his words about Donald.
“May I say well done in the Americas,” Stewart told King Charles, per GB News. “You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”
The singer’s comments were quickly criticized online by royal fans, who were unhappy that Sir Rod brought the politically neutral king into a political discussion.
