Usually a horse-drawn carriage procession brings the visiting dignitary to the grounds of Buckingham Palace, escorted by mounted soldiers from the Household Cavalry as gun salutes are fired from Green Park and the Tower of London. Officials have not said whether that will happen this time, possibly due to security concerns.


The President and first lady are not going to stay at Buckingham Palace, where state visitors usually lodge, apparently because of renovations underway at the Queen’s 775-room official residence. They are expected to stay at Winfield House, the spacious home of the US ambassador.


The Trumps and their grown children are expected to meet the younger generation of royals, including Prince William, a future king, and his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. Prince Harry is also set to meet the Trumps, but his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is expected to stay at home with their newborn son Archie.


The duchess, an American who has campaigned for increased women’s rights, was critical of Trump and i on record as backing his political rival Hillary Clinton. She has not resumed her official duties since giving birth four weeks ago.


Trump went on record in the Sun newspaper last week, appearing to call the duchess “nasty”, before insisting on Twitter on Sunday that he had been misquoted.
