Trump and Charles, heir to the UK throne, are expected to meet for afternoon tea at Clarence House, the official residence of the Prince and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
.While a state visit guarantees an audience with Queen Elizabeth II, visiting leaders don't automatically get a one-on-one with Charles. The Prince's office declined to comment publicly on the meeting, or the agenda. But given Charles' passionate and lifelong environmentalism, and Trump's well-known climate-change skepticism, it seems inconceivable that the issue would not be discussed.
A political princeIn the past, Charles has come under fire for testing the boundaries of the custom that senior British royals stay out of politics. He has often written to government ministers on subjects close to his heart -- like the environment and modern architecture.But in a recent BBC documentary celebrating his 70th birthday, the Prince promised not to meddle in matters of public debate once he takes on the role of the monarch.
