US President Donald Trump to visit the UK for an official state visit this month
The US President and his wife, Melania, will visit King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle in a couple of weeks.
US President Donald Trump is set to visit London later this month.
It is the first time a second-term President has been invited to the UK for an official state visit.
His visit comes as rumours surrounding the President’s health continue to swirl online.
The President is set to address the USA this afternoon from the Oval Office.
Concerns over Trump’s health began spiralling earlier this year, when a photo of his bruised hand went viral.
Rumours were exemplified this week after he took a notable absence from the public eye; however, they were swiftly quashed when the President was photographed playing golf.
In July, the President of the United States (POTUS) accepted a formal invitation from King Charles III to join him and Queen Camilla for an unexampled second state visit.
Trump is due to visit the UK from September 17th to 19th. He will be accompanied by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump.
The pair will be hosted at Windsor Castle, a switch up from the usual venue of Buckingham Palace, which is currently undergoing renovations.
Queen Elizabeth II hosted Trump for his first state visit in 2019 during his first term in office.
Traditionally, second-term presidents are not offered a state visit and have instead been invited for tea or lunch with the monarch, reports the BBC.
While a complete programme of events has not yet been announced, the itinerary is likely to include a full ceremonial welcome and state banquet in St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle.
At the time of publishing, there has been nothing to indicate that Trump’s state visit will not go ahead as planned despite social media speculation.
The President will arrive in the UK on 17th September 2025.
