Why it matters

Stewart, now in his eighties, once socialized with Trump in Florida but has said he no longer counts him as a friend, citing political disagreements including arms sales. The throwaway line at the charity celebration added a sharp, personal note to what was otherwise a praise-filled evening.

The bigger picture

The remark follows a widely admired U.S. tour for the King, including an address to Congress late April. Observers say the visit reshaped public perceptions of Charles and drew positive comments from across the political spectrum.
