Buckingham Palace Announces Surprise Change to Donald Trump’s State Visit Later This Year [Windsor Castle]

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.

William is also heavy into depopulation and climate change.

I figured out that ‘QE’ means Queen Elizabeth but what does “ant So Irene” mean?

I saw it reported by Neil Sean that actually Starmer is who messed that up and the King is...less than pleased with Starmer having done that.
