Queen Elizabeth II will unfurl the red carpet and open the gates to Buckingham Palace to welcome Pres. Trump for an honorary state visit to the United Kingdom.
The Queen of England will unfurl the red carpet and open the gates to Buckingham Palace to welcome President Trump for an honorary state visit to the United Kingdom on Monday.
President Trump will join Prince Charles for a formal inspection of the Guard of Honor in the palace garden before heading inside for a private lunch hosted by the queen in the president’s honor. Prince Harry will also attend the lunch, according to Buckingham Palace. In addition to lunch at the palace, the queen is expected to show the first couple an exhibition of items in the Royal collection that are of historical significance to the United States. Prince Andrew will then act as tour guide for the president and first lady for a visit to Westminster Abbey. There, the president will lay a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
The queen herself will play a directing role in making sure the night is executed to the highest possible standards. The president’s visit comes at a particularly awkward moment for May, who announced her resignation last Friday and is set to officially step down as the Conservative Party leader on June 7, just a few days after the president’s visit.
