Here's a video from earlier today in London,the king made a solo visit to Imad's Syrian Kitchen
 
A strong show of support but also a good diplomatic move after the news here was full of how made up Trump was to recieve an invite for a second state visit and in the meantime a visit to Balmoral or Dumfries House. By meeting Zelensky (and at Sandringham, another private home rather than Palace) Charles is showing he is not taking sides.
 
It will be a difficult meeting given the need of the Ukrainian people. There are talks of boots on the ground and some may take this as an escalation. I pray King Charles finds some comfort in his visit to Church that can provide him some strength and clarity for this visit with Zelensky.

PM 'ready' to put troops on ground in Ukraine to protect peace
 
I don’t think it will be a difficult meeting tbh. They have met many times before and Charles is in lock step with the official position of the government in feeling that Ukraine should get all the support it can. Talk of troops has focussed on support roles out of active areas of fighting. Equally the decision about troops etc are not Charles’ to make not matter that he is the Commander in chief.
Whilst I am sure they will have some pretty deep conversations (Charles certainly appears a very thoughtful deep thinking man) the main purpose of the visit is for the UK sovereign to be seen to be welcoming snd and a warm relationship with the Ukrainian Head of State, and to make clear the UK isn’t taking sides by offering Zelensky the same as was offered to Trump this making it clear the UK at every level isn’t picking one over the other. They could pose for a photo and say nothing else to each other for an hour and the primary objective of the visit would have been achieved.
Also worth noting that the decision to offer Trump a state visit (and to do so in public in Starmer’s meeting in the Oval Office) was the government’s and by all accounts it is the Ukrainian’s who have requested an audience with the King.

Personally I was hoping it would irk Trump enough to do another Denmark and cancel, and show shrewd judgment by the King that way. Hope Zelensky sleeps over.
