During the meeting at the White House, Donald Trump received a letter from King Charles III through the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer. Sitting in the Oval Office, Trump joked about whether he should read it, and then showed the letter to the camera, allowing for its content to be seen.

The American president acted, as usual, in a manner far from ceremony and protocols. Typically, correspondence from the British monarch is not made public.

According to Sky News, based on photos of the letter, the contents were quoted. King Charles III writes about a "breadth of challenges across the world" and emphasizes the key role of the UK and the US in addressing them.

The monarch also mentioned Trump's visit to the UK. Charles wrote that he remembers it "with great fondness." He also added that he would gladly extend an invitation for another visit. Essentially, the prospects are not limited to one, but to two meetings.

The first, less formal one, is to take place on the monarch's estates — Balmoral or Dumfries House in Scotland. Charles wrote that there are many things there that may interest the American president. He also explained that they could plan another historic state visit by Trump to the UK together.

The American leader visited the UK in June 2019, during his first term. He became the subject of massive consternation among the British. Even before he landed in London, he said that its mayor was a "fool," called Meghan Markle "nasty," and strongly praised Brexit.

Trump then met with Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle. Commentators noted that the president did not bow before the queen, which was a departure from accepted protocol. These awkward moments, however, have faded into memory.
