Senior members of the UK royal family are reportedly preparing for a visit to the US following Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration. The trip, which may occur in 2026, aims to enhance US-UK relations, reflecting Trump's historical affinity for the monarchy. Insiders suggest King Charles and Queen Camilla might attend the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence next year. Given Trump's previous engagements with royal figures, this visit could represent a strategic move to bolster soft power as the US hosts significant global events, including the FIFA World Cup with its North American partners.
Donald Trump has a clear affinity for the royal family, having had a great relationship with the late Queen and recently meeting Prince William.
Playing up to his pro-monarchist tendencies is one of several important ways we can exert our soft power, as was seen during his first administration.
A royal tour to the US would reinforce the 'special relationship' between the two countries, according to insiders close to the royal family.
While the plans for the historic moment are still up in the air, Trump intends to invite various world leaders to the celebrations.
