Buckingham Palace confirmed that Trump and his wife Melania have accepted an invitation to visit the royal family from September 17 to 19.

“This is really special. This has never happened before. This is unprecedented,” Starmer told Trump when he presented the letter.

“The answer is yes,” Trump had replied.

The king will host the US president and First Lady at Windsor Castle, however, no other details of the visit have been confirmed.

US ambassador to the UK Peter Mandelson told The Sunday Times he believed Trump would be welcomed “warmly” on this next visit.

Speculation about Trump’s visit increased in February when Prime Minister Keir Starmer extended an invitation to Trump during a White House state dinner. King Charles appeared to trust Starmer’s judgment, saying, “He trusts Keir Starmer. It’s not about expressing our gratitude. My objective is to show respect, not flattery. I don’t believe the administration has any issue with that.”

It will mark the first time in history an elected politician has been granted two state visits to the UK, after Trump also visited in 2019 and met with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

At the time, Trump sparked controversy after walking in front of the Queen.

This was interpreted as a breach in royal protocol.

Trump has also been vocal about his fondness for the royal family.

He has previously posted on his Truth Social platform a message which read: “”I Love King Charles.”
