"Especially when it involves the House of Windsor, whose namesake castle is where King Charles III will host US President Donald Trump during his second state visit to the United Kingdom this September. Due to renovation work, the gilded halls of Buckingham Palace are off-limits this time. Typically, US presidents serving a second term are not offered a state visit. Instead, they are invited for tea or lunch with the monarch."
"According to Sky News, State Visit 2.0's itinerary includes a military parade, laying a wreath at the late Queen Elizabeth II's tomb in St George's Chapel, a flypast by the Red Arrows and F-35 jets, a formal dinner and plenty of ceremonial flourishes. It's a schedule steeped in tradition, but behind the polished silver and ceremonial swords lies a minefield of royal protocol an etiquette labyrinth where even seasoned statesmen have stumbled."
King Charles III will host US President Donald Trump for a second state visit at Windsor in September because Buckingham Palace is undergoing renovations. The visit includes a royal carriage procession welcomed by Prince William and Princess Catherine, a military parade, a wreath-laying at Queen Elizabeth II's tomb in St George's Chapel, a flypast by the Red Arrows and F-35 jets, and a formal state dinner. Traditionally, US presidents in a second term are invited for tea or lunch rather than a full state visit, making this offer unprecedented. Royal protocol enforces strict ceremonial rules and occasional breaches have occurred.
