King Charles hosted a garden party on his own today as he tried his hand at DJing alongside Sir Idris Elba and Christian St Louis during a special celebration at Buckingham Palace. The King rubbed shoulders with several famous faces attending an event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the King’s Trust youth charity, which was founded in 1976. Party guests included celebrity ambassadors for the Trust, such as broadcasters Ant and Dec and Holly Willoughby, actors Dame Helen Mirren and Damian Lewis, and Sir Idris, an alumnus of the charity. After spending more than an hour greeting guests, including some 50 young people and alumni who have been supported by the charity, Charles walked up the garden steps in the pouring rain, holding an umbrella, and paused to speak to Christian St Louis and Sir Idris, who were standing by some DJ decks. St Louis, 22, from Middleton in Greater Manchester, took a DJing course through the Trust and performed at the party whilst guests danced through the downpour, clutching umbrellas. Asked what he …

When the American anthem played, the President saluted, and the First Lady held her hand on her heart. Mr Trump, wearing a bright red tie, then led the King as they inspected the troops standing on the lawn. The President saluted as he marched past at a quick pace. Returning to the Dias, Mr Trump then delivered a 12-minute address reflecting the warmth and affection he feels towards the Royal Family.

Palace sources said such a meeting would not be possible during the four-day state visit as it could jeopardise legal proceedings and stop justice for victims. Meanwhile, referencing the gunman who attempted to storm the White …
