Donald Trump and Melania will have tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle on Friday
The Palace confirmed Her Majesty will welcome the US President in the afternoon, where they will be greeted by a guard of honour
DONALD Trump will have tea with the Queen on Friday at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The Palace confirmed Her Majesty will welcome the US President in the afternoon, where they will be greeted by a guard of honour.
There had been huge speculation about the precise details of the visit since it was announced, but the Royal meeting was confirmed by the US ambassador Woody Johnson last month.
He described it as "the most important thing" that the US President would do on his flying visit to the UK.
The Sun was the first to reveal that Windsor was set to be on his itinerary.
Buckingham Palace said today in a statement: "The Queen will meet the President of the United States of America and Mrs Trump at Windsor Castle on Friday 13th July 2018."
It also revealed that a Guard of Honour will give a Royal Salute and the US national anthem will be played.
A spokesperson added: "The Queen and the President will inspect the Guard of Honour before watching the military march past.
"The President and First Lady will then join Her Majesty for tea at the Castle."
President Trump has said in the past that his Scottish late mother was a "big fan" of the Queen - sentiment which has clearly rubbed off on him.
Mr Trump and Melania met with Prince Charles in New York 2005, and he also once met the late Princess Diana.
The First Lady has also had talks with Prince Harry as part of his Invictus Games tournament for injured servicemen and women.
The new details come just 24 hours before the President lands in Britain for his first UK visit.
Also on the agenda is a black tie dinner at Blenheim Palace, and talks with Theresa May at Chequers.
Over the weekend the couple will travel up to Scotland, where President Trump is expected to spend time at his golf and hotel resort in Aryshire.
