Overview

  • The state visit is scheduled for September 2025 at Windsor Castle, marking an unprecedented second full state visit by a US president.
  • A planned informal meeting at Balmoral or Dumfries House in Scotland was cancelled because diary conflicts prevented a summer encounter between the King and President Trump.
  • Ongoing refurbishment at Buckingham Palace has shifted all state visit ceremonies to Windsor Castle for the autumn event.
  • During his May visit to Ottawa, King Charles emphasized Canadian sovereignty and Prime Minister Mark Carney said President Trump is no longer threatening to annex Canada.
  • Downing Street denied reports that Prime Minister Starmer overruled the King on the visit’s timing, saying the invitation proceeded with His Majesty’s approval.
