King Charles III is preparing to welcome President Donald Trump for an unprecedented second state visit to the United Kingdom from September 17-19, 2025. Buckingham Palace confirmed that Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will be hosted at Windsor Castle for the three-day visit, making Trump the first U.S. president in modern times to receive two state visits to Britain.
The invitation was personally delivered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a White House meeting in February, when he presented Trump with a letter from King Charles. Starmer described the invitation as “unprecedented,” noting that traditionally second-term U.S. presidents are only offered tea or lunch with the monarch rather than a full state visit.
