King Charles to Host President Trump’s Second State Visit at Windsor Castle This September

Overview

  • Buckingham Palace announced the state visit will run from Sept. 17 to 19 at Windsor Castle, shifting venues due to extensive renovation work.
  • President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will attend a ceremonial program at Windsor Castle, including military reviews and a state banquet.
  • Trump becomes the first elected leader in modern times to receive two full state visits by a British monarch.
  • Scheduling during the House of Commons recess rules out a formal address to Parliament during the trip.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer hand-delivered King Charles III’s invitation in February, formally securing the unprecedented visit.
