King Charles invites US President Donald Trump for a state visit later in 2025
Britain’s King Charles will host US President Donald Trump for a state visit later in 2025, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
Trump accepted an invitation from Charles for a second state visit in February, making the US president the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch.
Britain had not set a date for the occasion, however, an event that will celebrate the close ties between the two countries and be marked by pomp and pageantry.

British state visits usually include a carriage ride through central London and a lavish state banquet.
Last week, the Manu Regia, an official invitation which signals the start of formal planning, was hand-delivered to the White House by British representatives, with confirmation of the exact date for the trip to follow.
