The state dinner speeches between Donald Trump and King Charles were full of mutual approval and friendship between the two countries.

That would have pleased the UK diplomats here to help repair bridges with the US - but there was a moment that might raise questions.

Trump seemed to suggest the King was backing his policy on Iran, an issue that has been a source of contention between the UK and the US.

The president said: "We're doing very well, we have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we're never going to let that opponent ever - Charles agrees with me, even more than I do - we're never going to let that opponent have nuclear weapons."

The Palace has since sought to clear it up, saying the King is "naturally mindful" of the UK government's established policy of opposing Iranian nuclear proliferation.
