Overview

  • Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles III will host President Trump and First Lady Melania at Windsor Castle from September 17 to 19 for an unprecedented second state visit.
  • The timing of the three-day stay during the Commons’ summer break ensures President Trump cannot address either House of Parliament, addressing earlier motions by Labour MPs.
  • Windsor Castle will host full ceremonial welcomes and a state banquet because Buckingham Palace is undergoing extensive renovations.
  • Palace and government teams have begun detailed planning on security, venue logistics and diplomatic protocol for the visit.
  • Downing Street has denied overruling the King on scheduling while ministers aim to leverage the visit to secure further trade concessions from the United States.
