Donald Trump praised King Charles III as a "beautiful man" as Sir Keir Starmer presented the monarch's letter inviting the US president for a “historic second state visit” to the UK.
The letter, partially obscured by Mr Trump’s hand, reads: “I can only say that it would be … pleasure to extend that invitation once again, in the hope that you … some stage be visiting Turnberry and a detour to a relatively near neighbour might not cause you too much inconvenience. An alternative might perhaps be for you to visit Balmoral."
