Relations between the US and the UK are not at their best, and, as on several occasions over the last century, the British Royal Family is aiming to play an important role in upholding and improving a good diplomatic relationship.

The invite was sent in July and delivered by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the Oval Office.

“His Majesty The King will host The President of the United Sates of America, Donald J Trump, accompanied by te First Lady, Melania Trump, for a state visit to the UK,” the post on the Royal Family’s social media read, alongside a photo of the four from the last state visit in 2019.

Protests against the US President were held outside Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening
