The British Crown Is Once More an Enemy of a Free America

The images from Windsor Castle are unambiguous: King Charles III and Queen Camilla, surrounded by ceremony and military honors, chose to host Donald Trump with full state pomp. The symbolism cannot be dismissed. The British monarchy, aware of Trump’s record, nevertheless extended to him the most sacred ritual of legitimacy that Britain can offer: a royal welcome.
The Meaning of Royal Hospitality
State visits are never casual affairs. They are statements of recognition, and in the case of monarchs, they are symbols of continuity stretching back centuries. For King Charles to fete Trump is not a neutral gesture—it is to elevate him as a peer among sovereigns and to give cover to his role as a destroyer of American democracy.
To host Trump now, after years of evidence of his betrayal of Western unity and alignment with Russia, is to knowingly place the Crown’s prestige on the side of treachery.
History’s Rhyme
The American republic was born in direct opposition to the British Crown. In 1776, George III was not just a monarch across the sea but the embodiment of tyranny that the colonists refused to endure.
The revolutionaries fought not simply against taxes or soldiers, but against the very idea that royal power could dictate the future of a free people. To see King Charles III embrace Trump today is to see history rhyme: once more, the Crown places itself opposite the project of American liberty.
Conscious Betrayal of Western Unity
No British leader can claim ignorance. Trump’s role as a traitor to American institutions and as a willing ally of Vladimir Putin is established. He undermines NATO, weakens the transatlantic alliance, and continues to destabilize Western democracies through his corruption and blackmail networks.
For Charles and the British establishment to embrace him is to signal that they are prepared to profit from American decline rather than stand with American freedom.
The Lesson
History does not repeat, but it echoes. Just as the republic was forced to break from monarchy in its birth, it must now confront the uncomfortable truth that monarchy once again stands arrayed against its survival.
Trump is not simply another political figure; he is the vector of America’s internal sabotage. Any institution that grants him legitimacy becomes complicit.
The British Crown has made its choice. The American people must make theirs: to recognize Trump as a traitor, to treat his enablers—domestic or foreign—as compromised, and to defend the republic without waiting for kings, elites, or even “lists” to tell them what they already know: the British Crown is held by a betrayer of American freedom.
