Mr Morgan wrote on his social media: “Texting with President Trump, and he’s ecstatic about Royal visit. Told me King Charles is ‘a great guy’, and the state dinner was ‘a wonderful evening, very special.’
“I think the Monarch & Queen Camilla single-handedly repaired the Special Relationship. Congrats, Your Majesties!”
It comes as a senior Palace aide revealed that the King “grasped in both hands” the “risk and challenge” of the US state visit but will not dwell on the perceived success of his trip.
The “high-stakes” address to Congress was one of a number of hurdles Charles overcame during his sternest diplomatic test to date, but it was also seen as an opportunity to deliver on palace objectives in support of the Government who requested the trip.
Much has been made of the personal relationship between the King and US President Donald Trump, and the senior palace aide involved in the trip said the two men “get on very well”, and “the warmth that you see in public is absolutely the warmth you see in private”.
When asked if it was awkward for the president to have a warmer relationship with the King than the Prime Minister, the aide replied: “It’s not a competition between the King and the Government.
“The King is there to support the Government, to help the Government. It was at the Government’s request, of course, that he undertook this visit.”
The Congress address made by the King has been widely interpreted as a gentle push back against some of Mr Trump’s pet peeves – Ukraine, Nato, the need to follow rules and the climate change lobby.
But he was guided by the “truth” and his “conscience” when delivering his speech that found favour with many Republicans and Democrats, and its contents were “a measure of how much he personally cares”.
