I didn't watch it today (but strangely I watched Macron). But I believe it is:
"For the Prime Minister.. did you discuss, with President Trump, his repeated statements of desire to annex Canada, and has the King expressed any concern over the President’s apparent desire to remove one of his realms from his control"
.. Then cue Starmer.
I guess British journos forgot how it works. If the King is the head of state, the PM of that realm can have an audience with him. It's not like there is a Chief PM (aka Britain) and some sub/deputy PMs and the King is above the British PM. We don't need to channel through Starmer.
That said no one in the EU nor the Brits are bothering to help us so it's every man for himself. Throwing Mexico under the bus (at least in the province that I live in) was supremely stupid. As one federal party candidate said we should be on the first plane to Mexico to organise a joint retaliation because any economic reconfiguration of import/export will take years if not decades so no magical treaty with BRICS, EU, shit hole countries in Africa or whatever bloc will save us from a prolonged trade war with the States.
Anyway the King is on orders to fly under the radar. I don't remember the link but a recent event where the King (or maybe Prince William?) was asked to review on some humanitarian hospital stuff for Ukrainians he made a polite and short thanks instead of all the usual bravado that we stand with Ukraine and defence of liberty and democracy.
