A State Visit from the US might happen, but it’s all very complicated at the moment. Could be a different Pres.

I agree with the top lists.

Is the bit about a different POTUS wishful thinking?

No. Logical thinking.

No, just saying.... it’s not the best time during an investigation and during major election year. Lots of complications. If not, the visit would’ve happened already.

Obama's State Visit to the UK was in 2011 - three years after his election and over two years after his inauguration.

If Trump had one this year it would be earlier in his presidency than Obama's State Visit.

Obama made other visits but only one official State Visit and that was in 2011 - after William and Kate's wedding.

The invite came January 2017. If there were no complications and protest, it would’ve happened in tne summer or fall of last year. Or at least a Spring 2018 Visit.

Whenever it happens, the welcome won’t look pretty at all.

The Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg don’t bow or curtsey even on the Queen’s turf. Suppose since official visit and visiting as head of state, they consider themselves equal.

As reining monarchs they are equal

I am posting here because the relevant forum is closed,.

The Guardian is reporting today that President Trump’s postponed state visit to the UK is back on and expected to take place next June. No official announcement yet apparently.

Edit: The BBC is also saying Buckingham Palace is expected to announce the state visit later today.

Some videos and pictures of the 1971 State Visit from Japan

Emperor Hirohito and Empress Masako of Japan visited Britain, which was the first State visit after WWII. It was "the first visit by the Emperor since his Official Visit in 1921, when he still the Crown Prince".

One of the less pleasant state visits.

He later had the Order of the Bath taken back in 1989 :previous:

Pleased to hear that. He was a monster.:eek:

Poor old HM having to put up with him in her house.

The Officlal Visit is not from Luxembourg but from Belgium. People went on the Street because they had no Television at home at that time.
Sad Kings Albert II and King Philippe never came on State Visit.
Now with the COVID perhaps we have to wait years.
