Donald Trump's recent state visit showcasedthe strengths of the Royal Family and underscored the significance of the UK maintaining a constitutional monarchy, according to a Royal commentator.
Ahead of the state visit, King Charles was reportedly apprehensive about Trump making inappropriate remarks, but contrary to expectations, the state visit proceeded smoothly, casting a spotlight on the Royal Family.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Express US, PR expert Lynn Carratt shared her insights on the state visit and its implications for the Firm's public image. The news emerges as King Charles signals Duke and Duchess of York are 'no longer welcome' at family Christmas.
Reportedly, the visit was so successful that Trump now wishes to return the favour by inviting Charles and Camilla to the US for a state visit in 2026. There are even rumours that the invitation might be extended to the Sussexes.
Ahead of the visit, it appeared Trump was hoping some of the Royal Family's prestige would reflect positively on him during his UK stay, and it seemed to have been successful, with the US President behaving in an unusually restrained fashion and delivering his state banquet address with surprising eloquence.
Indeed, Trump failed to mention Prince Harry in his gratitude speech, but according to Carratt this was because Harry and Meghan were not in attendance.
Carratt, Director of E20 Communications Carratt said: "While the state visit wasn't without controversy, it did appear to go well from the side of the Royal Family and without a doubt helped to improve UK-US relations and the public stage has been reset."

We also had a conversation with Royal expert Pauline Maclaran, Professor at Royal Holloway, regarding Trump's state visit and its significance for the Royal Family, reports the Express US.
A leading royal expert has revealed the true significance of Donald Trump's state visit to Britain and what it means for King Charles and the Royal Family.
Pauline Maclaran, Professor at Royal Holloway, has delivered her verdict on the high-stakes diplomatic encounter and its importance for the monarchy.
The royal author said: "I think the Trump visit is important for King Charles and the royal family more broadly because it's a chance to display their soft power skills and, in turn, the value or benefits they can offer Britain (which are questioned more and more in recent times)."
Maclaran revealed the US President's true motivation for seeking out meetings with the Royal Family at every opportunity.
She added: "It is well known that Trump admires the Royal Family and seeks status through meeting them."
The PR specialist explained: "In my personal opinion I don't think it was a jab, I believe it was a deliberate omission, the state banquet was official business for the Royal Family and Donald Trump, and as Harry has stepped away as a working Royal, it is unlikely he would be mentioned."
