<\/p>\nThe King saw the spectacular views over Manhattan, at a UK-US trade event overlooking the Empire State building. In the Rainbow Room at the Rockefeller Center, he met around 60 business leaders to discuss investment in the UK.<\/p>\n
The King recognised Stephen Schwarzman, chairman and CEO of Blackstone, from the White House dinner last night, and told him: “I was so impressed by the music, the military bands”.<\/p>\n
Mr Schwarzman congratulated the King on his choice of gift to President Trump, the bell from a Second World War submarine called HMS Trump. “Oh yes, the bell,” replied the King. “We were lucky enough to find it.”<\/p>\n
“I told him it was the perfect gift,” Mr Schwarzman said afterwards. The King, who was joined by Yvette Cooper, the foreign secretary, was introduced to CEOs and senior executives representing a sectors including healthcare, technology, energy, infrastructure and the creative industries.<\/p>\n
Among them were the CEOs of Sony Music, Conde Nast, NBC Universal, Warner Music Group, HarperCollins, Octopus Energy, Rolls-Royce SMR, Premier League, Standard Chartered, Pfizer and Aston Martin.<\/p>\n
The King, who had met many of them before, was heard to quiz CEOs about their jobs, their old jobs, and the progress in their sectors.<\/p>\n
He asked about best-performing products, new technologies, the risk of companies failing, how to scale businesses in the UK, sustainability, job creation and investment level in Britain.<\/p>\n
He made his way around eight tables, where leaders were arranged according to sector.<\/p>\n
Nikhil Goel, CEO of Archer Aviation, showed him a video of new electric air taxis, which he described as “quieter, cheaper and safer” than helicopters which will one day be “the same price as a black taxi”.<\/p>\n
The King, who travels by helicopter often and has introduced sustainable fuel to the royal fleet, seemed particularly engaged, studying it closely and smiling.<\/p>\n
