Ex-PM's war lecture sparks fury Calls for King to cancel US visit

- 

MPs called for King Charles' planned US visit to meet Donald Trump to be called off.

The monarch's trip, scheduled for next month, is under threat amid fears it would be insensitive as war rages in the Middle East.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are due to spend three days in the US to coincide with America's 250th anniversary celebrations. It includes a state banquet at the White House followed by a visit to New York.

Ms Maskell said: "I think that visit should be put on hold at the moment to be quite honest.

"I'm not sure what would be gained from his going to the US, unless it was to make a direct intervention on this current conflict. This should be the only thing on anyone's agenda."
