US President Donald Trump is planning to invite King Charles and Queen Camilla to the US next year, a senior White House official confirmed to the BBC.<\/p>\n
The date of the visit – which will come as the US marks its 250th anniversary – remains unclear.<\/p>\n
Trump made a second state visit to the UK this week to meet with the King and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, describing the visit as an “exquisite honour” and a sign of an “unbreakable bond” between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The last official state visit by a British monarch to the US took place in 2007, under the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The visit is being planned as a separate event from those celebrating the US 250th anniversary celebrations, according to the official. <\/p>\n
Trump has often spoken fondly of the UK, British culture and the monarchy, and during his recent visit described King Charles as “my friend”.<\/p>\n
The White House official provided no further details on when the visit could take place or what it would entail.<\/p>\n
The royal invite was first reported by the Telegraph.<\/p>\n
Citing a source close to Trump, the Independent newspaper reported that the invitation could alternatively be extended to Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n
Speaking alongside the US president earlier this week, King Charles also spoke glowingly of the the “special relationship” between the US and the UK.<\/p>\n
“I have always admired the ingenuity of the American people and the principles of freedom, which your great democracy has represented since its inception,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Throughout my life, from the very first visit to the United States in 1970 – and there were 20 visits since that time – I have cherished a close tie between the British and American people,” King Charles added.<\/p>\n
The king’s mother, Queen Elizabeth, made five state visits to the US, beginning in 1957 with President Dwight D Eisenhower.<\/p>\n
During the Queen’s last visit to the US in 2007, former President George W Bush famously made a gaffe during the six-day visit, confusing dates and telling her she “helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 – in 1976”.<\/p>\n
After the Queen looked at him, Bush joked that she “gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.”<\/p>\n
In an earlier visit with President George HW Bush in 1991, Elizabeth spoke from behind a tall podium on the White House lawn, with only her purple and white hat visible from behind the microphone.<\/p>\n
“I do hope you can see me today from where you are,” she told members of Congress at a separate event later in the visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
