King agrees to host Trump visit The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1644 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The headline reads "KING AGREES TO HOST TRUMP VISIT". The cover features a photograph of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III walking together. Speech bubbles add dialogue to the image: Starmer says, "Give him a welcome fit for a President," to which King Charles replies, "OK, I'll shout at him then boot him out."
