Buckingham Palace Announces Surprise Change to Donald Trump’s State Visit Later This Year [Windsor Castle]
People ^ | 6/25/2025 | Simon Perry

King Charles will welcome President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump to the U.K. later this year, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

Formal planning for the state visit is underway, with an authoritative report in The Times saying it will take place in September. A formal letter of invitation — known as a ‘manu regia’ — signed by the King, 76, was hand-delivered to the White House by British officials in Washington last week.

A Palace aide says, "His Majesty has known President Trump for many years and looks forward to hosting him and the First Lady later this year."

It was initially thought that a less formal visit would take place at one of Charles’ Scottish homes, possibly during the summer break, with another, longer visit to follow.

In his initial letter of invitation, handed to Trump in the Oval Office by British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in February, Charles suggested such an informal visit would also offer a "valuable chance to plan a historic second State Visit to the United Kingdom."

However, due to both the King's and the President's schedules, that has not been possible to arrange, PEOPLE understands.

Upon receiving the initial February invitation, Trump gladly accepted the monarch's hospitality.

"The answer is yes, on behalf of our wonderful first lady, Melania, and myself, the answer is yes," he said. "We look forward to being there and honoring the King, honoring your country. Your country is a fantastic country, and it will be an honor to be there."

The visit will most likely center on Windsor Castle, and Prince William and Kate Middleton will probably help Charles and Queen Camilla to welcome the guests and attend a glittering state banquet.

What is on that slug's "schedule" that he can't change to meet with the President of the United States?

I visited Windsor Castle in May 2006. The Queen was in residence at the time, so the State Rooms were off limits that day. St. George’s Chapel didn’t allow photographs unfortunately.

Not sure if he's still receiving treatment for prostate cancer or not. It's supposed to be incurable. And according to this article Camilla is suffering from several health problems that have caused her to limit appearances.

"William will be a great King."

Let's hope so, for Britain's sake.

Windsor Castle haunted by Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I and more.

The few times William has forayed delicately into politics recently were 1) voice support for Ukraine. 2) Gaza.

Just wait: “TWO Kings to meet — it’s the end of democracy as we know it!”

And they both celebrated birthdays on the same day this year.
