Trump Reads Personal Letter from King Charles—And the Request? Totally Unexpected
In a moment that stunned even seasoned political insiders, former President Donald Trump received a hand-delivered letter from King Charles III this week—containing a request that no U.S. president has ever received before.
On Thursday, February 27, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived at the White House and wasted no time. Minutes after sitting down in the Oval Office, he handed Trump the royal letter, emphasizing its historic significance.
“This is really special. This has never happened before,” Starmer said. “This is unprecedented. This is truly historic.”
The letter? A personal invitation from King Charles himself, asking Trump to return to the UK for an unprecedented second state visit—something no other U.S. president has been offered in modern history.
A Personal Touch from the King
As Trump held the letter, partially obscuring the text, key phrases revealed an intriguing request:
“I can only say that it would be … pleasure to extend that invitation once again, in the hope that you … some stage be visiting Turnberry and a detour to a relatively near neighbour might not cause you too much inconvenience. An alternative might perhaps be for you to visit Balmoral.”
The King also referenced his charitable work:
“There is much on both estates which I think you might find interesting, and enjoy – particularly as my foundation at Dumfries House provides hospitality skills-training for young people who often end up as staff on your own establishments!”
The letter closed with a formal but warm touch:
“Yours Most Sincerely, Charles.”
Trump’s Reaction? Pure Enthusiasm
Clearly honored, Trump immediately accepted, making history yet again.
“That’s a great, great honor. And that says at Windsor – that’s really something,” he said.
He also took a moment to praise the King himself:
“He’s a beautiful man, a wonderful man – I’ve gotten to know him very well, actually, first term and now second term. We’ve known each other now for a little while. This is not our first meeting. He loves his country. And so, that’s our common theme. He loves his country. And I love our country.”
