Charles to host Trump at Windsor during state visit
The Independent
|July 14, 2025
Palace confirms the tour is scheduled for 17 to 19 September
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK in September.
The US president will be accompanied by his wife, first lady Melania Trump, on his three-day visit to the UK, scheduled for 17 to 19 September.
This will be Mr Trump’s second state visit - an unprecedented gesture towards a US leader following his previous state visit in 2019.
The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of Mr Trump’s visit as it will be in recess for party conference season, meaning the president will not be able to address parliament as French President Emmanuel Macron did during his state visit last week. The House of Lords, however, will be sitting.
In February this year, Sir Keir Starmer presented the US president with a letter from the King as he invited him for the visit during a meeting at the White House.
