Watch King Charles tell Donald Trump: ‘If it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French’

King Charles just had the entire room in rib tickling laughter with his quip about British colonial rule ahead of the 250th anniversary of American Independence that is to take place during the King’s State Visit.
