King Charles III has sent a personal message of congratulations to President Donald Trump on his inauguration, the palace has confirmed. The monarch, 76, sent a handwritten letter to the 47th president as he reflected on the 'enduring special relationship between the UK and US.' Charles' private words were delivered to Trump on Monday and congratulated him on being sworn into office for a second time, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
Trump previously said he had 'automatic chemistry' with the late Queen Elizabeth II, whom he had met during his first term in the White House. While there are currently no plans in the diary for a UK state visit for Trump, it's understood that options remain possible for one to be arranged for later in the year. Typically, foreign political figures and monarchs are invited to the UK on the advice of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, with the decision down to the UK government. On behalf of the United Kingdom, I send my warmest congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump on his inauguration as the forty-seventh President of the United States,' said Starmer, the UK Prime Minister. He added that the pair 'have spoken about the need to deepen and invest in the transatlantic relationship.' 'With President Trump’s longstanding affection and historical ties to the United Kingdom, I know that depth of friendship will continue,' he said. It remains to be seen, King Charles and Queen Camilla may receive an invitation to Washington, DC next year to attend the 250th anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence.
