I missed this tidbit from King Charles’ state dinner at the White House.

Delicious.

After more than a year of U.S. President Donald Trump calling the country's prime ministers "governor," King Charles asserted his role as Canada's head of state in remarks at the White House late Tuesday.

In his speech at the official state banquet held in his honour, Charles gently poked at the president, at one point obliquely referencing Trump's penchant for suggesting Canada could become the 51st state.

"In just a few weeks, the United States and Canada will be among those to welcome the world as hosts of the FIFA World Cup," Charles said as Trump looked on. "So, in one sense, Mr. President, as heads of state, we are joint hosts."

And this Canadian historian’s comment is exactly on point:

"It would be quite easy for Charles to say nothing about us in Washington, but here is the King of Canada doing his job for the country, again, amid Mr. Trump's constant anger toward us. Why would the King wade into that unless it came from the heart?"
