STATE VISIT: TWO HEADS OF STATE NEED TO FIND COMMON GROUND
-
Donald Trump may adore Britain's royal family but the brash US leader could not be more different from King Charles III, a passionate environmentalist who is always straitlaced in public.
The monarch is 76 years old, the president 79. They are both wealthy, previously divorced and love Scotland, where Trump's mother was born and Charles spends many holidays.
But there the similarities appear to end, making for strange bedfellows when the king hosts Trump in Britain this week for an unprecedented second state visit.
Trump has described himself as "a big fan" of the politically neutral royal family, including Charles' son and heir to the throne Prince William, and his wife Catherine.
He has acknowledged that he and Charles "have different views" but they still "get along".
"I think he's a really wonderful guy, we get along, he was a little bit more into environmental restriction than I am," Trump said last year.
