US EditionKing Charles III greets Trump in Windsor at start of president’s second state visit to the UK
- Eluned Morgan, First Minister of Wales, chose not to attend the state banquet with US President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle on September 17, 2025, explaining that she wished to remain with colleagues during a challenging period following the recent passing of Senedd Member Hefin David.
- Morgan's refusal followed recent political tensions and a desire to support colleagues after a local tragedy, while opposition leader Ed Davey also protested over Gaza.
- The banquet, prepared over six months, includes 160 guests dining in St George's Hall with a menu chosen by King Charles and Camilla, featuring seasonal royal estate produce.
- Polling reveals around half of Britons oppose Trump's invitation, with 52% rejecting a Trumpian governance approach and only Reform voters showing notable support at 34%.
- This event reflects the royal family’s continued role in projecting soft power through tradition and diplomacy while hosting controversial global leaders amid divided public opinion.
