Royal Family LIVE: King Charles prepares to meet Trump during historic US state visit after Washington shooting

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly 'desperately phoning' her wealthy friends after concluding her stay at a luxury Alpine resort in Austria. 

The ex-wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is said to be contacting her wealthy friends for help after her location was exposed after seven months, according to a new report in the Daily Mail. 

The former Duchess, 66, was pictured staying at a £2,000-a-night apartment at the Mayrlife wellness spa in Altaussee, near Salzburg, a fortnight ago, after disappearing from the public eye for 213 days.

King Charles has sent a message to King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, wishing him and the Dutch people a happy King's Day.

The message was posted on the British royal family's official social media pages. 

"On the occasion of your National Day, my wife and I extend to you and to the citizens of the Netherlands our heartfelt congratulations and warmest good wishes," the statement reads. 

"This day serves as a valued opportunity to reflect upon the enduring friendship between our nations. I am deeply encouraged by the strength of our bilateral ties and remain committed to fostering even closer cooperation in the years to come.

"As we face the shared challenges of our time, particularly those concerning the climate and the preservation of our natural world, I am hopeful that our countries may continue to work together in pursuit of meaningful and lasting solutions," continues the monarch.

"My wife and I send our sincerest regards to you and to all Dutch citizens for peace, prosperity, and wellbeing in the year ahead."

President Donald Trump has made no secret of his admiration for the royals. But did you know that his fascination with the royals began with his Scottish mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump?

"It goes right back to his really early days when his Scottish mother spent hours in front of the TV watching the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953. It's a really strong childhood memory for Trump, and he remembers it well and how absolutely fascinated and enthralled his mother was with royalty, and some of that rubbed off on him," David Charter, author of Royal Audience: 70 Years, 13 Presidents — One Queen's Special Relationship with America, tells HELLO!. 

"There's no question that he absolutely delights in royal company," David adds, describing the President as "a huge royalist."

The Dutch Royal Family will celebrate King's Day today, along with the people of Dokkum. 

King Willem-Alexander and his family will walk through Dokkum from 11am, beginning at the Bonifatius Chapel, where Frisian horses will escort the royal family to the starting point of their route.

The royal family's official Instagram page shared a photo of the monarch and his family preparing to make their way to downtown Dokkum. 

King Charles' trip to the United States marks the first state visit to the country by a British monarch since 2007. It comes at a time when President Donald Trump has said the US-UK relationship has "been better". 

"The royal family's brand of soft diplomacy has rarely been more crucial than at this precarious time for relations between the US and the UK," HELLO!'s royal contributor Tracy Schaverien said. "Donald Trump has made no secret of his disapproval of our Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, after his refusal to allow British forces to join the offensive action in Iran.

"However it's also no secret how much the President admires our royal family and the King has an important role to play in keeping the 'special relationship' between our countries on track. While protocol dictates that he can't get involved in political debates, he is skilled at turning on the royal charm while remaining politically neutral."

Britain’s ambassador to the US has said "all appropriate security measures" are in place following the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday. 

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were rushed off stage and evacuated after gunshots were heard at the dinner.

Sir Christopher Turner said UK and US security teams had been planning the trip for weeks before the incident, with changes possible "as we go".

"The real point is that our respective security teams have been in close touch for weeks," he said. 

"And any operational changes we have to make, we can make them as we go, and we are all very confident that all appropriate security measures are in place."

Minor adjustments will be made to one or two royal engagements, however, the overall plan remains unchanged.
