A bell with history, humour and meaning. 🔔🇬🇧🇺🇸
At the White House State Dinner, His Majesty King Charles III presented President Trump with the original bell from HMS Trump, a British submarine launched in 1944 during the Second World War.
Once hung on the submarine’s conning tower, the polished brass bell stands as a reminder of our nations’ shared wartime history and enduring alliance.
As His Majesty said: “May it stand as a testimony to our nations’ shared history and shining future. And should you ever need to get hold of us, well, just give us a ring!”
From history to partnership, the UK/US relationship continues to ring true.

King Charles has been a triumph on this US trip.
His speeches yesterday were the most brilliant act of much-needed diplomacy that I can remember in a long time. He was charming, funny, courageous, and reminded everyone why the Monarchy remains one of Britain’s greatest assets.
