The British prime minister came to discuss a peace agreement for Ukraine at the White House. He had taken the opportunity to give the US president, visibly enchanted, an invitation signed by the king’s hand.

In the program, meeting with William and Kate, Prince and Princess of Wales, Transportation Procession, Royal Hi Guard of Honor and Lunch with King Charles, Queen Camilla and several other members of the Royal Family. The British government intends to take advantage of Donald Trump’s fascination for the royal family and put his eyes.

“Trump loves the monarchy”
Therefore, the idea is to put it in the best provisions for your interview with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with commerce, customs duties and war in Ukraine in the discussion menu.
“The goal will be dazzle and flatter it with the best experience of the red carpet, with honor guards, air parades, historical carriages, a sumptuous banquet, splendid and splendor”, notes, not without irony the BBC, which compares Windsor with a “real real emission park.”
What does the US president come, who has never hidden his esteem for Queen Elizabeth, Prince William or King Carlos. Donald Trump will also meditate on the tomb of the queen in the Saint-Georges chapel in Windsor.
“President’s president” of the Queen
During his first term, Donald Trump was received in 2019 by Queen Elizabeth II, who invited him to Buckingham Palace and presided over a banquet in his honor. And yes, according to a biography of the queen, published in 2024 and entitled A trip spills the queenShe would have found “very rude,” Donald Trump is convinced that he was “his favorite president.”
“I had an excellent relationship with the queen. She appreciated me and appreciated her,” he reacted to the Dailymail. “We spent hours together at a state dinner. She was a great woman.”
For Trump, the British monarchy and Queen Elizabeth are of particular importance. This is what his former advisor of Russia, Fiona Hill, wrote in his memoirs in his visit to the White House. “A meeting with the Queen of England was the maximum sign that Trump had succeeded in life.”
Donalrd Trump was “always a little impressed when he talked about her; his voice and his face softened,” he says. This passion comes from his mother, Mary Anne Macleod, from Scotland, who admired the queen a lot. Donald Trump even talked about that in his book The art of treatmentRemembering his mother recorded at the images of coronation in 1953, for the greatest discomfort of his father.
“It is more important than any law that could have adopted in Congress, more important than solving problems on the border with Mexico,” even assured Michael d’Antonio, author of The truth about TrumpIn New York Times In 2019. “I think it will be one of his last thoughts. When he is about to leave this land, he will say: ‘I was that person, along with the queen'”.
If you love the queen, Donald Trump also loves King Charles, whom he has already met several times, and even received in 1988 in Mar-A-Lago. The sovereign appears as a preponderant character of British diplomacy.
“King Charles is very aware that the US president loves the British monarchy and that he is the main asset of the United Kingdom to try to convince Trump,” said the microphone of Real podcast In March 2025, Marc Roche, specialist in the Royal Family.
When he arrived in Paris in December 2024 on the occasion of the Reopening of Notre-Dame of Paris, the US president also met Prince William at the United Kingdom embassy. So little information filtered in the conversation between the two men, Donald Trump had addressed the subject:
“I had an excellent discussion with the prince,” said the president, venturing himself to comment on the prince’s physique: “He is a handsome man. He was really very beautiful last night. Some people are more beautiful in person? It was excellent. He was very beautiful and I said.”
On Wednesday, September 17, Donald Trump, therefore, will find all these beautiful people who admire so much, and the time for a carrier trip, will dream of his equal.
