About this episode
King Charles III is heading to Washington for his first visit as monarch — and the timing is anything but simple. The king will address Congress and attend a state dinner with President Donald Trump. But the visit comes amid rising global tensions, including divisions over Iran and uncertainty about the future of NATO. It also unfolds against the backdrop of renewed scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. So what can the monarch actually accomplish in a moment like this? USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page joins The Excerpt to break down the stakes.
