Sir Rod Stewart congratulated King Charles on his recent state visit to the United States, telling him he had put "that little ratbag in his place" during a celebration at the Royal Albert Hall. The candid remark, directed at President Donald Trump, was seemingly laughed off by King Charles, with Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood seen grinning beside him.
