American State Visit to Britain 

The British Royal Family are hosting American President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle on their State Visit to the United Kingdom this week, which is the latest in over a century of American Presidential Visits to Britain and follows President Trump’s previous State Visit in 2019.

The Prince and Princess of Wales (wearing the Prince of Wales Feathers Brooch) greeted President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on the grounds of Windsor Castle before they were welcomed by King Charles III and Queen Camilla (wearing Queen Mary’s Russian Sapphire Cluster Brooch) as a Royal Salute was fired from the East Lawn of Windsor Castle and at the Tower of London.

The President and First Lady will join the King and Queen on the Royal Dais to inspect the guard of honour in the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle, with the state colours of the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards and Scots Guards.

After lunch in the State Dining Room with members of the Royal Family, the King and Queen will invite the President and First Lady to view a special display of items from the Royal Collection relating to the United States of America in the Green Drawing Room. Later, the President and First Lady will join the King and Queen and US and British military families to view a Beating Retreat ceremony on the East Lawn of Windsor Castle.

In the evening, King Charles III and Queen Camilla will hold a State Banquet in honour of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle.

 

President Trump first met with the Queen at Windsor Castle during a visit to the United Kingdom in 2018, reviewing the guard and having tea.

The Royal Family hosted the President and First Lady Melania Trump on their State Visit to the United Kingdom in 2019, which also had a State Banquet held by the Queen (in the Burmese Ruby Tiara) at Buckingham Palace, the last of the Reign of the late Queen.

A few months later, the President and First Lady were back in London for the NATO 70th Anniversary Reception at Buckingham Palace.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
