78% : Trump said yes on the spot.
76% : It may also be strategic: Trump hailed Kate as "radiant and so healthy and so beautiful" in his speech at the state dinner, and giving her such a prominent hosting role may be yet another aspect of the diplomatic flattery this visit has been all about.

58% : Here's everything you need to know about how the royals are rolling out the red carpet for Trump this week.
58% : Just after Trump took his leave from King Charles to go and meet with Starmer, the U.K. Prime Minister, the Princess of Wales took the First Lady to meet with a group of scouts on the grounds of Windsor Castle -- specifically Frogmore Cottage, which used to be Harry and Meghan's English home.
