Donald Trump and King Charles III
Palace plans second state visit for 2026
Donald Trump is set to become the first politician to make a second British state visit to the royals in 2026. The planning is already underway.
A second state visit by the upcoming US President Donald Trump (78) to Great Britain is already taking concrete shape. , Buckingham Palace is already planning in the background to invite the US President-elect for 2026. Trump would be the first politician ever to be received by the royal family for the second time.
The 78-year-old Republican has always been a great admirer of the British royal family. “Trump loves the Royal Family. Just look at the fact that he had his own photo album made of his last visit,” The Telegraph quoted a source close to the planning as saying. The chemistry between Trump and the royals is apparently right: at a recent meeting in Paris, he raved about Prince William (42) as “very good-looking.”
Political differences in the background
However, the different political views between Trump and King Charles III could. cause tension. While the British monarch has been campaigning for environmental protection and sustainability for decades, Trump promotes the motto “Drill, drill, drill” and is skeptical about the issue of climate change.
“It’s about the office, not the person,” . “If he comes here as president-elect, we must give him a proper welcome.” A state visit before 2026 is considered unlikely due to King Charles’ busy schedule.
Preparations are already in full swing
Trump’s first state visit in 2019 was hosted by Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022). As she said goodbye, the late monarch invited the then US President to “come back soon”. Now her son Charles is to take on the role of host as king. Back then, Trump and the then Prince Charles met on the sidelines of the visit.
The British government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer (62) is currently faced with the challenge of maintaining its traditionally close relationship with the USA – despite critical voices from within its own ranks. Foreign Minister David Lammy (52) had described Trump as a “tyrant” in the past, but later dismissed these statements as “old history”.
The planned state visit would not only be an important diplomatic signal, but also a historic moment: a foreign politician has never been welcomed to Great Britain for the second time with full protocol honors.
