President Trump will make an unprecedented second state visit to the United Kingdom between Sept. 17 and Sept. 19, Buckingham Palace announced on Monday.
Trump formally accepted King Charles III’s invitation, according to the palace, and will visit Windsor Castle along with first lady Melania Trump.
Trump is a rare head of state accorded a second state visit. He first enjoyed the pomp and pageantry during his state visit in 2019, when he was hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Other U.S. presidents have traveled to the U.K. after a state visit for lunch or tea with the monarch, but none were invited for a second state visit.
King Charles’ invitation for the second state visit was hand-delivered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in February in a meeting at the White House.
After reading it, Trump said it was a “great, great honor” and appeared particularly pleased by fact he will be staying at Windsor Castle, to the west of the capital. “That’s really something,” he said.
