Trump To Meet King Charles At Windsor In Second UK State Visit

By -

Former U.S. President Donald Trump will be hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle during his upcoming second state visit to the United Kingdom, scheduled for September 17–19. However, he will not be addressing Members of Parliament during the trip.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the visit, which will include Trump’s wife, former First Lady Melania Trump. The couple last enjoyed a full state visit to the UK in 2019.

Unlike French President Emmanuel Macron, who addressed both Houses of Parliament during his state visit last week, Trump won’t get the same opportunity. The House of Commons will be on recess for the annual party conference season. The House of Lords, however, will be sitting during his visit.

Trump’s return to the UK follows a personal invitation from King Charles, delivered by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during a White House meeting in February. The King had originally suggested a more informal meeting at Balmoral or Dumfries House in Scotland ahead of the official visit. However, scheduling conflicts on both sides made a summer rendezvous impossible.

Preparations are already underway in Scotland, where Police Scotland is reportedly planning for a potential visit by the former President to one of his golf courses in Aberdeenshire or Ayrshire—destinations that will require a large security presence.

For U.S. presidents serving a second term or returning for another high-profile visit, tradition typically dictates a more understated engagement with the monarch, such as tea or lunch at Windsor Castle—something past presidents like George W. Bush and Barack Obama also experienced.

Trump’s September visit follows King Charles’ recent trip to Canada in May, where he opened the country's Parliament in Ottawa. The visit was viewed by many Canadians as a gesture of unity amid recent tensions stirred by Trump’s past trade threats toward the country.

President Macron and his wife, Brigitte, enjoyed a more elaborate affair during their recent UK visit, which featured a ceremonial welcome, a carriage procession through Windsor, and a glamorous state banquet attended by Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prime Minister Starmer, and senior Cabinet members.

While Trump's second state visit may lack some of the ceremonial splendor of Macron’s, it still marks a significant diplomatic moment between the UK and the former U.S. President.
