During the evening, the Prince opened up about meeting Donald Trump in early June, and revealed the pair spoke about businesses in the UK following Brexit. He told ITV News: "Businesses we see could be successful either inside a large internal market, or operating in an even larger external market. There are swings and roundabouts to all these sort of things. The conversations that were had were entirely constructive and positive - from both the President, Prime Minister and ministers on both sides. I got a sense it made no difference whether we were staying in or leaving, there was still going to be a very close relationship with the United States on a whole range of issues - not least in the business world."
