What started as a leak of secret diplomatic notes in a British tabloid resulted in the resignation of a great ambbadador and questions about the UK's position in the world.
Kim Darroch felt compelled to leave his post as British envoy to Washington after a dispute over disclosed memos.
The diplomat described Donald Trump and his administration as insecure, incompetent and dysfunctional.
The US president responded with an avalanche of angry tweets, calling Darroch "very stupid".
Boris Johnson, probably the next British prime minister, refused to publicly support the ambbadador.
So, how will this incident affect the UK's ties with its closest ally?
