Following his recent trip to the United States, King Charles lll received subsequent praise from his fellow countrymen.
While attending The King’s Trust’s 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday (5.11,) the 77-year old monarch was greeted a lineup of celebrity guests including Rita Ora, Anne-Marie and Craig David.
When Charles reached Rod Stewart down the welcoming line, the superstar rocker offered his congratulations on the trip, and added a comment that created an awkward moment.
According to a social media video shared by England’s Daily Mail, the 81-year old musician was seen and heard saying “May I say, well done in the Americas.” “You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”
While observers interpreted Stewart’s comments as a reference to President Donald Trump, those nearby appeared to laugh, though the King did not visibly respond to the remark.
When they lived near each other in Palm Beach, Florida. Stewart and Trump were once close in the early 2010s, however, in 2025 the musician told the Radio Times that he no longer considered Trump a friend, citing the administration’s arms sales to Israel, adding:
“How’s that war ever gonna stop?” “He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that. But he didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well. But since he became President, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know.”
