King Charles III has invited President Donald Trump to the U.K. for a “historic second state visit.
” Donald Trump, 78, was presented with the invitation from the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer , on behalf of King Charles, 76, during a press conference at the White House on Thursday, February 27.
Starmer, 62, told Trump that the invitation was “unprecedented” and “really special” because it “has never happened before,” The Times of London reported. In the letter, which Trump showed to the cameras, the king suggested that Trump take an informal visit to Balmoral Castle or Dumfries House in Scotland, where they would plan the next official state visit, The Times reported.

“There is much on both estates which I think you might find interesting and enjoy — particularly as my foundation at Dumfries House provides hospitality skills training for young people who often end up as staff in your own establishments,” Charles wrote, according to The Times . “Quite apart from this presenting an opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest, it would also offer a valuable chance to plan a historic second state visit to the United Kingdom. As you will know, this is unprecedented by a U.
S. president,” the king added.
