LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump will make an unprecedented second state visit to the U.K. between Sept. 17 and 19 when he will be hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, Buckingam Palace said Monday.

Trump, who is a big supporter of the royal family, particularly of the monarch, will be accompanied by his wife, Melania Trump, during the three-day visit, the palace confirmed. No U.S. president has been invited for a second state visit. Trump previously enjoyed the pomp and pageantry of the state visit in 2019 during his first term when he was hosted by Charles’ late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The invitation for the second state visit from the king was hand-delivered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in February during a meeting at the White House. After reading it, Trump said it was a “great, great honor” and appeared particularly pleased by the fact he will be staying at Windsor Castle, to the west of the capital. “That’s really something,” he said.

Precedent for second-term U.S. presidents who have already made a state visit is usually tea or lunch with the monarch at Windsor Castle, as was the case for George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

1. Who's he planning to insult this time? Come on UK. Why give him the time of day.

I hope it's king Chuckie. Trump can come back and talk about how ugly he thinks the the queen is.

18. The visit is seen as part of Starmer's effort to keep Trump close and lessen the impact of some of his polices on the U.

Us consumers will only pay more as these tariffs take hold.



............While the king formally issues the invitation for a state visit, he does so on the advice of the elected government.

The visit is seen as part of Starmer’s effort to keep Trump close and lessen the impact of some of his polices on the U.K. The relationship between the two appears amicable, and has helped the U.K. from facing the sort of hefty U.S. tariffs that other nations are seeing.

But like Trump’s previous visit, it’s unlikely he will be welcomed by all. Last time, protests included the flying of a giant blimp depicting Trump as an angry orange baby from outside Parliament.

4. WTF

Remember in Trump 1.0 when then Prince Charley refused to shake hands with VP Mike Pence. I can still see that video in my mind's eye. I assume the prince did so as a rebuke to the Trump administration. So why in the world would King Charley invite president Bone Spurs to visit? I don't get it.

Trump just seems to mesmerize tons of people who should be shunning him.

7. Not mesmerizing Brits. He's a bully and they are massaging his ego to curry favour and evade tariff threats. . . . nt

16. Because trump makes a nasty enemy, that's why

5. No address to Parliament or ride in a carriage this time. I can't remember if he got those the first time. . . nt

6. Is he going to ask the King where he learned to speak English so well.
