What's key in all these photos is that King Charles is standing proportionally distant enough to make Zelensky appear larger (than he is); giving him the appearance of being strong in stature & standing. Unlike fatso & thicko who tried to make him appear small & weak. Great use of photography as PR.
“President Zelenskyy's clothing choices when meeting foreign dignitaries hold symbolic significance. Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Zelenskyy has consistently worn military-style clothing, such as olive-green or dark-colored sweaters, instead of formal suits”.
I said after he visited Trump that I felt Starmer was "handling" him, I'm now convinced.
Well played UK. Lovely photos of Zelensky with our PM and King, very civilised indeed.
Absolutely he was. The amount of psych profiling he and macron would’ve done on Trump before those meetings.
This is why I didn’t understand Zelenskyy’s fail. It was in no way to diminish the shit he got but the prep should’ve been immense.
I daresay the prep was done but the host decided to do the press thing as a long roasting and, short of storming out, I don't see what Z could have done. Going on Fox News after was smart.
What?! No suit?! How dare he?! Oh! King visibly not bothered by that, but he has a bit more humanity/intelligence/class than the trumped-up (pun intended) blokes on the other side of the pond #slavaUkraini #zelensky
I had an invite to the palace a few weeks ago. The dress code was ‘lounge suits’, but the invite was clear that a lack of suitable clothing shouldn’t be a reason not to attend. I was pleasantly surprised.
I remember reading once as a kid that true courtesy/manners are not a set of finicky rules, but the act of making people around you comfortable. That struck home with me. So even if it WAS inappropriate attire on Z's part (and it wasn't), it would have been awfully rude to point it out.
And my guess is the Kings suit will be at least 30 years old. Tailoring at its best, made to last, classic design, and the King will not be thinking about clothes.
Nice. Love your comment. Feel sorry for Charles (who has been an environmentalist all his life) having to meet the world's most idiotic climate change denier & keep quiet.
Zelensky is just not as statesmanlike as Don: no wonder Don kicked him out.
Zel has consistently failed to make "comical" remarks about a dead golfer's penis nor has he paid a pornstar hush money out of electoral funds.
And as for his clothes...don't get me started.
Fucking loser. MAGA!

... and it was manners, not clothes, that were lacking in the oval office.
Doubt if he has anything like that.
And he’s playing to his own army and wears what they expect him to.

So will go on trying to build bridges
It's the second of the lowest of low bars for behaving like a human being.
Trump has more love and respect for Putin, than he does for American government workers or American and European political leaders.
