King talks about freedom and peace but freedom for occupied, enslaved countries was a distant dream. However President FDR had drafted Atlantic charter asking Churchill to grant freedom to India just because the US soldiers were fighting in Europe and all over for the cause of freedom and democracy. FDR was one of the greatest US Presidents. In olden days people were simple and so were their kings and Queens, respected and adored, when people had the time to wait and watch their role models. Kings and Queens were special as if they were moving toys to a child. They were respected and they too respected the people. But then the only Kings and Queens who survived were the Kings and Queens of cards , the Kings of Britain, Emperor of Japan, King of Thailand, King of Arabia, Jordan and a few European countries. But democratic figures became Aces and politicians became jokers available in plenty in shelves of lofty houses.

The British monarchy survived because Edward vii (playboy prince, Queen Victoria's son) made changes and had the diplomatic skills to navigate into the 20th century.

There is a pronounced lack of pomp and ceremony accorded the royal visitors in the USA in comparison to their immediate preceding tour of Canada. The political background of this tour of Canada and the United States was of the expectation of war and the need to rally the English speaking worl'd's support for Britain.

Makes total sense seeing as how the monarch isn't allowed to involve himself in politics and the British PM resigned because he expected appeasement to work months after this trip and the USA stayed neutral for almost 3 years (a few days before the start of 1942). I am sarcastically trying to say that Roosevelt invited the monarch at the risk of alienating the isolationist base in the USA, hence why there was no similar visit on the eve of WW1 which the usa also pointlessly joined. The U.S. ambassador to the court of St. James (Jo Kennedy, JFK's father) believed in appeasing Hitler and recommended this to Roosevelt up to the war, there was no doubt that America wasn't going to join if Christ himself visited the White House. A large population could still remember life in Ireland, and there were many German, Japanese, and Italian immigrants in the USA...it's why the USA's alliance with the UK dissolved right after the war and the U.S. refused to support the Suez business and the UK didn't join the USA in Korea. Add to it that many GI's saw first hand what an arrogant prick Monty was and how miserable British plans like Operation Market Garden were in their scheming, and older generations remembered the needless death caused by the Monarch and his cousins all over Europe playing chess to pass the time, so one can understand why the Marshall plan and Truman doctrine helped all of western Europe except Britain, which felt the economic impacts of two pointless wars for forty years...

You may think those wars were pointless, but many people who loved their Western civilisation, cultures, way of life, languages etc, did not wish to bow to Nazi ideology or the Japanese emperor...
