Well, here’s a headline you might not have had on your 2025 bingo card: King Charles and President Donald Trump are officially set to meet for a state visit in the UK. Because, apparently, one historic meeting isn't quite enough for these two.
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will head across the pond in September 2025 for a state visit with King Charles and Queen Camilla. This isn't Trump’s first rodeo with the British monarchy; he previously met with Queen Elizabeth II back in 2019 during his initial term.
Now, for the other shoe to drop (or, rather, for the other plane to land): King Charles and Queen Camilla are also making their way to the United States. Many were wondering when this reciprocal visit would happen, and the royal couple recently confirmed it's on the books.

This trans-Atlantic pow-wow isn't just for pleasantries. It’s slated to celebrate the enduring ties between the UK and the US, and — perhaps most notably — it will coincide with the 250th anniversary of American Independence. After their US tour, the King will hop over to Bermuda for his inaugural royal visit as Monarch to a British Overseas Territory. Because, why not add another stamp to the royal passport?
A Terrific Meeting, Apparently
President Trump, never one to shy away from expressing enthusiasm, shared his excitement on Truth Social after the invitation was accepted. He praised the royal couple, noting his respect for the King and declaring the upcoming visit will be “TERRIFIC!”
Naturally, the decision for the King and Queen to accept the invitation has drawn a few raised eyebrows. But for every critic, there’s an equal and opposite reaction of support, with many followers on Instagram wishing the royal couple a safe and productive journey. Because, if nothing else, it’s certainly going to be a memorable one.
