Overview
- Thames Valley Police specialist teams with detection dogs are conducting daily searches across Windsor, with officers warning residents to expect continued activity.
- Buckingham Palace set the visit for September 16–18 after shifting from an earlier window, concentrating the program at Windsor Castle because Buckingham Palace is under renovation.
- Ceremonial plans include a royal salute, a carriage procession confined to Home Park, a Red Arrows and UK/US F‑35 flypast, a special Beating Retreat, and a state banquet at the castle.
- The President and First Lady will privately lay a wreath at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb in St George’s Chapel before a brief tour and choir performance.
- The Prince and Princess of Wales will first receive the Trumps at Windsor, and the Princess of Wales will later join Melania Trump at Frogmore Gardens for a Scouts engagement before the President meets the prime minister at Chequers.
