Part 2/15:
King Charles’s visit to the U.S., and particularly his interaction with Donald Trump, is interpreted by some as more than diplomatic protocol. It is seen as a gesture signaling the crumbling of the centuries-old dominion of the monarchy and, by extension, the entire British imperial legacy. Critics argue that the symbolism during the visit—such as the handing over of a bell to Trump, likened to passing a crown—indicates a transfer of control or authority, perhaps signaling a shift in power dynamics from Britain to the United States.
