Political editor<\/span><\/p>\nBoth the president and the King will give speeches at the beginning of the state banquet.<\/p>\n
They will be political words, but not the sort we are used to, at least from the UK side. They will be ‘small p’ political words from the King.<\/p>\n
So who writes his speech?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
It is \u201cwritten on the advice of government\u201d is how it is described.<\/p>\n
Someone else close to the process told me \u201cwho holds the pen is nuanced\u201d \u2013 which is curious, but revealing phrase.<\/p>\n
I think it roughly translates as all sorts of drafts go back and forth between folk in government and folk at the Palace.<\/p>\n
What can we expect?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
A seven to eight minute speech from the King that focuses on the big picture \u2013 the UK and US\u2019s shared past and hoped for shared future.<\/p>\n
On some of the big international issues of our time, there are differences of emphasis or even outright disagreement.<\/p>\n
These are likely to be brushed over in the broadest sense.<\/p>\n
And, what about tomorrow?<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
The prime minister, meanwhile, will aim to make the most of the face time with the president.<\/p>\n
And, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is expected to meet Donald Trump for the first time.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow the focus will switch to Chequers, the prime minister\u2019s country retreat in Buckinghamshire for the ‘big P’ political day.<\/p>\n
The prime minister will seek to emphasise the long term value of all of the economic deals that have been announced during this state visit \u2013 as he seeks to put the short term hefty bumps he suffered in the last fortnight behind him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
