King Charles reportedly balked at hosting President Donald Trump for a state visit, prompting fears in government circles that a royal snub could ignite a “full-blown diplomatic crisis.”

Trump paid a state visit to the U.K. in September last year, during which he stayed at Windsor Castle with King Charles and Queen Camilla.

But according to an i Paper report, King Charles was “reticent” about hosting Trump, with one source telling the outlet he “did not want to do it.”

According to i Paper, that was because of how Trump had treated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he visited the White House in February 2025.
