A Good Morning Britain presenter delivered a live breaking news update about King Charles.
During Wednesday’s (April 29) instalment of the popular ITV show, presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls were back on air to bring viewers the most significant stories from Britain and beyond.
Following continuous coverage of the King’s US state visit during the programme, Susanna shared a new update, announcing: “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.”
At a White House banquet speech, Donald Trump said: “Charles agrees with me – even more than I do,” despite the Royal Family’s well-established tradition of remaining neutral on political issues.
Presenting the update, Ranvir Singh reported: “Buckingham Palace says King Charles is naturally mindful of the UK’s longstanding and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation,” reports the Mirror.

She continued: “This is after the US President Donald Trump claimed, as you’ve heard there from Susanna, that the monarch agrees with him that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. The comments were made at a state banquet at the White House last night.”
Senior correspondent Jonathan Swain, who was reporting live from Washington DC, then said: “Humour, history and a little gentle teasing – that’s how the King has helped to reset our relationship with Donald Trump and America.
“King Charles’ speech here in front of Congress was very warmly received. He reminded America of their responsibilities in the world, and said that the UK and America have always been there for each other.”
Jonathan explained: “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, as we were just saying.”
He concluded: “Later on today, the King and Queen will leave Washington and head to New York.”

During his landmark address to Congress, King Charles warned that both nations must unite in what he described as a “more volatile, more dangerous” period.
The audience rose to their feet on 12 separate occasions, repeatedly breaking into enthusiastic applause throughout the King’s remarks.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are due to arrive in New York later today, representing the first occasion a sitting British monarch has travelled to the city since Queen Elizabeth II in 2010.
The royal pair’s schedule features a moving wreath-laying ceremony at the National 9/11 Memorial. During their visit, they are anticipated to meet first responders and relatives of those who died in the September 11 attacks.
