King Charles III has invited President Donald Trump to the U.K. for a “historic second state visit.”

Donald Trump, 78, was presented with the invitation from the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, on behalf of King Charles, 76, during a press conference at the White House on Thursday, February 27.

Starmer, 62, told Trump that the invitation was “unprecedented” and “really special” because it “has never happened before,” The Times of London reported.

In the letter, which Trump showed to the cameras, the king suggested that Trump take an informal visit to Balmoral Castle or Dumfries House in Scotland, where they would plan the next official state visit, The Times reported.

The outlet added that Charles suggested Trump’s visit could coincide with the president’s trip to his Turnberry golf course in the west of Scotland.

“There is much on both estates which I think you might find interesting and enjoy — particularly as my foundation at Dumfries House provides hospitality skills training for young people who often end up as staff in your own establishments,” Charles wrote, according to The Times.

“Quite apart from this presenting an opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest, it would also offer a valuable chance to plan a historic second state visit to the United Kingdom. As you will know, this is unprecedented by a U.S. president,” the king added. “That is why I would find it helpful for us to discuss, together, a range of options.”

The king added that he recalled Trump’s previous visit to the U.K. “with great fondness,” the publication wrote.

“Yes,” Trump responded. “We look forward to being there and honoring the king and honoring your country,” he said, adding that the king is “a great gentleman.”

Trump previously spent time with the royal family during a 2019 state visit hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

During the trip, the president and First Lady Melania Trump spent time at Buckingham Palace and enjoyed a state banquet with Elizabeth II, Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.

Speaking about the 2019 visit on Fox & Friends, Trump said he was told by palace officials that Elizabeth II “hadn’t had so much fun in 25 years.”

“We had a great relationship, and I had a great relationship with Charles, and honestly I have a very good relationship with a lot of the foreign leaders,” Trump added.

Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment.

Millie Bobby Brown is not here for the criticism over her new look.

The actress, 21, took to Instagram on Thursday, February 27, to hit back at social media users who criticized her recent appearances at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, February 23, and the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, The Electric State.

Brown walked the red carpet Monday, February 24, sporting a blonde updo and a metallic gown with delicate embroidery and dramatic draping. However, as pictures flooded the internet, some people criticized the Stranger Things star’s hairstyle and sartorial choices. (“Literally had to double check it was her who turned 21 the other day and not 40,” read one X post, commenting on Brown’s SAG Awards red carpet look.)

Amid the social media storm, British Vogue writer Morgan Fargo came to Brown’s defense Thursday, penning an opinion piece for the outlet headlined, “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks.”

It seems the headline resonated with Brown, who shared the article via her Instagram Story on Thursday and simply wrote, “Thank you.”

The Enola Holmes actress also made headlines Monday night when she corrected a photographer who referred to her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 22, as her “boyfriend.”

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Brown can be heard correcting the photographer in video footage shared via X by The Hollywood Reporter. In the vid, Brown can be seen posing for solo photos on the red carpet and then gestures for Bongiovi to join her.

Brown and Bongiovi tied the knot in May 2024, as confirmed by Bongiovi’s dad, rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

“They’re great, they’re absolutely fantastic, it was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be,” he said on BBC’s The One Show.

Brown previously opened up about how she and Bongiovi first met, revealing that they first connected on Instagram, instantly hitting it off from their initial conversation.

“I was curious about him and wanted to learn more,” she told The Sunday Times in August 2023. “From our very first chat, I knew he was going to play a significant role in my life. After we met, it was clear we never wanted to be apart.”
