    King Charles will host Donald Trump at Windsor Castle in September

    The US president and his wife Melania have accepted a formal invitation from the British monarch for an official state visit, with Buckingham Palace confirming the brief trip will take place between 17 and 19 September


    However, the US leader will not have the honour of addressing Parliament because it will be in recess from the day of his arrival until mid-October.

    Trump is also not expected to visit Buckingham Palace, because it is currently being refurbished, or take a ceremonial carriage ride down the Mall in London, the Daily Telegraph reports.

    Similarly, last week's state visitors, French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte, also didn't visit the royal residence in the capital, but they did enjoy a carriage procession with the royals.

    The visit will coincide with the fourth anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on 19 September.

    Previous state visitors have paid tribute to the late monarch, with the French president laying a wreath on her tomb in St George's Chapel on his trip last week, while Japan's Emperor Naruhito left flowers there last June.

    Trump, Melania and his adult children previously enjoyed a state visit in June 2019 during his first presidency, with the 79-year-old business mogul enjoying tea with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle.

    September's trip will make the president the first elected politician in modern history to be hosted by the British royal family for two state visits.

    Trump previously claimed that he had "a great relationship with the Queen" and they had a lot of "fun" together on his state visit.

    He told Fox news: "We were laughing and having fun. And her people said she hasn't had so much fun in 25 years.

    "Then I got criticised for it because they said we were having too much fun ... I feel I know her so well and she certainly knows me very well right now, but we have a very good relationship with the United Kingdom."

    The former Apprentice star paid a heartfelt tribute to the late monarch following her death in 2022.

    He wrote at the time: "Melania and I are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Together with our family and fellow Americans, we send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom during this time of great sorrow and grief.

    "Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen, and never forget Her Majesty's generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor. What a grand and beautiful lady she was-there was nobody like her!"
