Overview

  • President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will visit the UK from September 17 to 19, 2025, hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
  • The visit breaks royal convention by granting a full state visit to a second-term US president instead of the customary tea or lunch.
  • Buckingham Palace is finalizing a full ceremonial welcome and state banquet in St. George’s Hall with senior members of the royal family.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer hand-delivered King Charles’s invitation at the White House in February to reinforce the special relationship and address trade concerns.
  • Despite the Commons recess, a motion backed by 20 MPs led by Labour’s Kate Osborne seeks to bar any parliamentary address by President Trump.
