US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were originally scheduled for their second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19.
However, due to changes in their busy schedules, they will now arrive a day earlier and depart on September 18.
During the visit, Kate Middleton is expected to play a significant role. On September 17, she will join Prince William in greeting the presidential couple, a presence described by commentators as the “icing on the cake.”
Arrival Plans at Windsor Castle
On the first day, the Trumps will be formally welcomed on behalf of King Charles and Queen Camilla by Warren A. Stephens, the US Ambassador to the UK, and Henry Hood, the Lord-in-Waiting. According to HELLO!, the couple will not attend public events that evening but will stay overnight at Windsor Castle. Their departure will follow an engagement at Chequers.
On September 17, King Charles and Queen Camilla will officially welcome the couple with a royal salute, fired from both the east lawn of Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. A carriage procession through the Windsor estate will follow.
