Days after the US president about-turned on his view on the war, top Ukrainian officials are in no doubt about the monarch’s influence.
Andriy Yermak, Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, told The Telegraph that the American’s private discussions with Charles had been “very important”.
“I’d like to mention that it was a great visit of President Trump to the United Kingdom, and I know the position of His Majesty, the position of Prime Minister Starmer and the people whom President Trump met… it was very important,” Mr Yermak said.
Mr Trump is a well-known Anglophile and an even bigger fan of the Royal family.
It’s no surprise that when the King privately raised the plight of Ukraine, the US president listened hard.
And the diplomatic prowess of the monarch has not gone unnoticed in Kyiv.
The King has raised Ukraine in speeches in France, Germany and Italy as well as convening European leaders to discuss the issue and holding engagements with displaced Ukrainians in the UK and Commonwealth.
He has also hosted Mr Zelensky on a number of occasions, most notably after his bruising Oval Office spat with Mr Trump.
In his speech at the state banquet, the King mentioned Ukraine once by name in an address noted for its political tone.
Addressing the US president, he said: “Our countries have the closest defence, security and intelligence relationship ever known.
“In two world wars, we fought together to defeat the forces of tyranny.
“Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine, to deter aggression and secure peace.”

How do these tactics fit into Russia’s broader strategy of probing the alliance, and what vulnerabilities do they expose? More urgently, could it tip Europe closer to conventional war?

Roughly four in 10 US households had leftover earnings after tax of at least £70,000 last year, while in the UK, just 10 per cent of households had the same experience. Despite the famously high cost of living in the US, our data found British families are still worse off. The gulf comes down to a very familiar story of tax, Britain’s sluggish recovery from the financial crisis, and America’s belief in the power of the stock market. Ollie Corfe reports.
