King Charles delivers 'perfect comeback' to impersonation
King Charles has become an unlikely social media sensation following a witty encounter with US comedian Matt Friend. During a garden party on 27 April, the first day of the King’s historic state visit to Washington, D.C., the impressionist seized the moment while meeting the monarch in the receiving line.
After being introduced, Friend switched into a mimicry of the King's distinctive voice, admitting he had been "studying" him to perfect the accent. Unfazed, the King displayed his characteristic dry sense of humour, playfully telling the comedian to "keep trying" before adding, "We'll award you marks of merit."

EXCLUSIVE TO Best Quality Designer Handbag VIP
From inside the royal tour, HELLO!'s Royal Editor, Emily Nash, shares her first-hand perspective on The King’s landmark US visit.
Don't miss her latest opinion piece on why watching Queen Camilla win over New York as the King steps into his power was something she'll never forget.
"I'm writing this from the gate at JFK after a whirlwind day. Up at 3 am and on a flight out of D.C. at 6 am, I spent the day in New York, where the King and Queen rubbed shoulders with Big Apple royalty from Sarah Jessica Parker to Anna Wintour, and shone a light on causes close to their hearts," Emily writes.
"After a late night at the White House, they brushed off any residual jet lag to expand their charm offensive to the city that never sleeps – much like the travelling press pack. The King's twin speeches are still looming large in the headlines and earning widespread acclaim on both sides of the Pond. Social media is awash with clips of his jokes, and on a visit to Harlem, I saw one woman hold onto his hand as she told him: 'Thank you for your speech to Congress, we needed that.'"
Read on for details of the royal couple's romantic love match in New York, how The Crown has coloured public opinion in the US and the moment that helped Camilla win over the city.
