Following UK visit, Trump plans to invite King Charles to US
US President Donald Trump plans to invite King Charles and Queen Camilla to the United States next year, a senior BBB House in the BBC confirmed.
The date of the visit – which will come while the United States mark its 250th anniversary – remains uncertain.
Trump made a second state visit to the United Kingdom this week to meet the King and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, describing the visit as an “exquisite honor” and a sign of an “unbreakable obligation” between the two countries.
The last official state visit to a British monarch in the United States took place in 2007, under the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth.
The visit is planned as an event separate from those who celebrate celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States, according to the official.
Trump has often spoken with emotion of the United Kingdom, British culture and monarchy, and during his recent visit described King Charles as “my friend”.
The White House manager has provided no other details on the moment when the visit could take place or what it implies.
The royal invitation was reported for the first time by the Telegraph.
Citing a source close to Trump, the independent newspaper reported that the invitation could also be extended to the Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Speaking alongside the American president earlier this week, King Charles also spoke brilliantly about the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom.
“I have always admired the ingenuity of the American people and the principles of freedom, which your great democracy has represented since its creation,” he said.
“Throughout my life, from the very first visit to the United States in 1970 – and there have been 20 visits since that time – I darked a link between the British and American people,” added King Charles.
King’s mother, Queen Elizabeth, made five state visits to the United States, from 1957 with President Dwight of Eisenhower.
During the queen’s last visit to the United States in 2007, former President George W Bush made a blunder during the six -day visit, confusing the dates and telling her that she “helped our nation celebrate her bicentennial in 17 – in 1976”.
After the queen looked at him, Bush joked saying that she “gave me a look that only a mother could give a child”.
During a previous visit with President George HW Bush in 1991, Elizabeth spoke behind a large podium on the lawn of the White House, with only its purple and white hat visible behind the microphone.
“I hope you can see me today where you are,” she told Congress members at a separate event later in the visit.
