Marc Cox talks with Mark Sutherland, Honorary Consul of the UK to Missouri, who joins from Washington, D.C. after attending King Charles’ address to Congress. Sutherland describes the speech as a rare, historic moment and praises the strong tone of the UK–U.S. relationship, noting the King’s dry humor and emphasis on long-standing partnership despite occasional political disagreements. The discussion covers transatlantic coordination on global conflicts, including U.S. military cooperation and UK support logistics, as well as the reopening of direct flights between St. Louis and London, which Sutherland calls a major boost for business and travel convenience. He also explains the British legislative process of “royal assent,” noting that while largely formal, it remains a constitutional requirement. The segment closes with light conversation about whiskey, gin, and potential royal connections before wrapping up the interview.
