Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in the United States on Monday afternoon for a four-day trip, welcomed by self-proclaimed royal fan U.S. President Donald Trump even as the U.S. president ‌has ‌differed with the British government over the Iran war.

Royal visitors have long been popular in the US, and Charles has decades of diplomacy under his belt. But can soft power save the special relationship?What’s the worst that could happen when King Charles visits Donald Trump in Washington at the end of this month?
