<\/a> The reviews are in for the state visit to the United States by King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Critics were bowled over.<\/p>\n \u201cThe King delivered a diplomatic master-class on the trip, mixing praise for his host with subtle criticism,\u201d <\/span>stated Associated Press<\/a>. \u201cA regal exercise in damage limitation,\u201d <\/span>was the Guardian\u2019s view<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n And they weren\u2019t impressed only by his address to Congress or speech during the state banquet but also by the more informal moments near the end of the tour: the King showing schoolkids how to feed lettuce to chickens at an urban farm, Queen Camilla <\/span>buying Girl Scout cookies<\/a> at a block party in Virginia (yummy Thin Mints, for the record). They even brought food to that community gathering \u2013 a coronation quiche and Victoria sponge cake. (Fun fact: the mayor of Front Royal, Virginia, deleted the original email from the British embassy,<\/span> thinking it a hoax<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s also the shock from bystanders at Dulles airport when <\/span>Queen Camilla strolled past passengers on her way home after the tour<\/a>. She flew commercial while King Charles continued on to Bermuda in the British government jet. <\/span><\/p>\n What is also notable is the success of their videos. Let\u2019s face it, we\u2019re visual folk and most get their news from Instagram, YouTube etc. Royal staff know this and put a <\/span>lot<\/em> of thought into their choices of songs that accompany the visuals.<\/span><\/p>\n a) The block party <\/span>video featured Darius Rucker\u2019s song, \u201cWagon Wheel\u201d<\/a> (the<\/span> singer loved it<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
