Iran's Defiance: Talks Stall, Oil Prices Soar

0:00On April 28, security worries are ramping up for King Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to the United States, which kicks off today. A gunman tried to crash the White House correspondent's dinner in Washington, firing at least one shot before Secret Service nabbed him. It's the third attempt on former President Trump's life in under two years, and folks are jittery about the royal safety. Royal biographer Robert Harman put it in perspective from the York, saying these concerns pale next to the dangers the late Queen Elizabeth faced. Over her 70-year reign, back in 1961, she headed to Ghana despite bombs exploding in the capital just days before. She also visited Quebec in 1964, in Zambia in 1979, dodging warnings from parliament and even Prime Minister Thatcher, about guerrillas and possible missiles. Buckingham Palace shared that the king was greatly relieved. Upon the first lady, and guests came out unharmed, after talks across the Atlantic, they confirmed the visit moves forward as planned.

1:02Harman added that Trump adores the royal family, so expects moves sailing. Security's getting tighter. No one planned walkabouts or open crowds just carefully managed public moments. Officials say they'll still connect with people, but on their terms. That said, it might cram King Charles's style since he's known for being tactile and loving those public hugs by his very first one right after. The Queen's Passing. History shows the royals keep rolling through the risks.
