The King and Queen will be hosted by the president during the trip – the first UK state visit to the US since Elizabeth II’s in 2007.<\/p>\n

The King is expected to address both houses of Congress, visit the 9\/11 memorial in New York and attend a wreath laying to honour fallen US and UK soldiers in Virginia.<\/p>\n

Even before last night’s shooting incident, security for the visit was going to be very tight. Now it will be going up another level.<\/p>\n

The royal visit seems to still be going ahead, but with some potential adaptations in the light of any security concerns. This could include considering the King’s interactions with the public, as he usually likes to meet crowds on such trips.<\/p>\n

When Trump visited the UK last autumn, almost all the events happened inside Windsor Castle. He was carried by helicopter in and out of that secure bubble and behind those walls, and so was kept away from any contact with the public.<\/p>\n

For those planning the King and Queen’s trip, which has already proved diplomatically complicated, there are now more last-minute decisions to consider.<\/p>\n

The visit comes days after reports emerged that the US could review its position on UK sovereignty of the Falklands Islands<\/a> – something Philp said would be “very reasonable” for the King to raise with the president.<\/p>\n

Jones said he could not predict what the King would discuss, but that the government’s position on the islands was clear: “The Falklands is British territory and the only people that get to decide otherwise are the islanders themselves.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
