Rod Stewart sparked headlines after making a blunt comment about Donald Trump while speaking to King Charles III during a royal event in London. The moment happened on Monday at the 50th anniversary celebration of The King's Trust at the Royal Albert Hall. The King attended the event and greeted several celebrities who were present for the celebration. Among them were Rita Ora, Anne-Marie, Craig David, and Rod Stewart. As King Charles moved down the greeting line, Stewart congratulated the monarch on his recent visit to the United States. According to video shared online, Stewart praised the King’s performance during the trip. “May I say, well done in the Americas,” Stewart said to the King. He then added another comment that quickly drew attention online. “You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.” Many observers believed Stewart was referring to Donald Trump. The King did not publicly respond to the remark. People standing nearby appeared to laugh during the exchange. The brief interaction quickly spread across social media after video clips were shared by several media outlets. King Charles recently completed a state visit linked to diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the United States. The royal visit attracted strong media attention because of ongoing political tensions and international discussions involving Trump. Rod Stewart has publicly spoken about Trump several times in recent years. The singer once had a friendly relationship with the former US president during the early 2010s. Both men owned homes in Palm Beach and were known to socialize in the same circles. Stewart previously described Trump as someone he once liked personally. However, Stewart later said his opinion changed after Trump entered politics. In an earlier interview with the Radio Times, Stewart said he no longer considered Trump a friend. He criticized Trump’s policies and raised concerns about international conflicts and weapons sales. Stewart also commented on Trump’s behavior toward women. The singer said he believed Trump had changed after becoming president. “He became another guy,” Stewart said during the interview. “Somebody I didn’t know.” The latest exchange has again placed Stewart’s political opinions in the spotlight. The singer has often mixed music, celebrity life, and outspoken political views throughout his long career. Meanwhile, King Charles remained focused on the event itself. The celebration marked 50 years of The King’s Trust, a charity that supports young people through education, training, and employment programs. The charity was originally founded by Charles in 1976 when he was Prince of Wales. It has helped thousands of young people across the UK build careers and gain new opportunities. The anniversary event featured music performances and appearances from several famous guests connected to the charity’s work. Social media users quickly reacted to Stewart’s comment, with many debating whether the remark was appropriate during a royal gathering. Some users praised the singer for speaking openly, while others felt political comments should not be made during formal royal events. Neither Buckingham Palace nor Trump’s team publicly commented on the exchange following the event. The moment nevertheless added an unexpected political twist to a night focused mainly on charity, music, and royal celebration.
