"You’d have to ask him. I can’t answer that," the US Ambassador said with a laugh. "Although your daughter must be so mad at you right now, by the way, I would be so mad at you if I was your daughter."

Karl then joked that he was actually trying to find out for his three-year-old daughter Harper, who he shares with wife Jasmine Stefanovic.
