Good Morning Britain delivered a breaking news update about King Charles during Wednesday's episode of the hit ITV programme. Hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls returned to screens to present the day's biggest headlines from across the UK and around the world.
Breaking News from the White House
After updating viewers on the King's US state visit throughout the show, Susanna shared a new development, stating: "We have this breaking news about a response from Buckingham Palace to President Trump saying that the King's in agreement that Iran shouldn't have nuclear weapons, and that is Ranvir's top story."
During a speech at a White House banquet, Donald Trump claimed: "Charles agrees with me - even more than I do," despite the Royal Family's well-known stance of impartiality on political matters.
Buckingham Palace Responds
Delivering the latest news, Ranvir Singh explained: "Buckingham Palace says King Charles is naturally mindful of the UK's longstanding and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation."
This came after President Trump's remarks at the state banquet, where he suggested the monarch agreed with him that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.
Senior correspondent Jonathan Swain, reporting live from Washington DC, added: "Humour, history and a little gentle teasing - that's how the King has helped to reset our relationship with Donald Trump and America."
He noted that the King's speech before Congress was warmly received, reminding America of its global responsibilities and the enduring bond between the UK and the US.
Jonathan continued: "A few hours ago, at the banquet at the White House, Donald Trump went off script a little bit, saying that King Charles agreed with him that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, and in the last hour, Buckingham Palace have responded to that."
King's Historic Visit to Congress
During his historic address to Congress, King Charles warned that the two nations must stand together in a "more volatile, more dangerous" era. The speech garnered 12 standing ovations as the audience repeatedly interrupted with loud applause.
The King and Queen Camilla are set to arrive in New York later today, marking the first visit by a reigning British monarch to the city since Queen Elizabeth II in 2010.
Upcoming Events in New York
The royal couple's itinerary includes a poignant wreath-laying ceremony at the National 9/11 Memorial, where they are expected to meet with first responders and families of victims from the September 11 attacks.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 6am.
