Kate Middleton, Prince William, King Charles, and Queen Camilla have reportedly been invited to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20 in Washington, D.C., according to royal expert Neil Sean.
Writing for Fox News, Sean claimed, “According to my sources, both William and Catherine, along with the King and Queen, have all been invited to Trump’s inauguration on January 20 in Washington, D.C.”
The claim comes after Prince William recently met with Trump during the reopening ceremony of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Representing King Charles, who has reduced his international travel due to health concerns, William’s interactions with Trump reportedly left a strong impression.
Sean elaborated, “The two were at the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral with William representing His Majesty the King, who has had limited travel due to his own health issues. But what truly emerged was William not only engaging incredibly well with President-elect Trump but also receiving high praise, which reverberated around the world.”
The Prince of Wales and Trump held a private 40-minute meeting at the British ambassador’s residence following the ceremony. The meeting was characterized by mutual respect, further strengthening diplomatic ties.
Kensington Palace shared photos of the event on social media, highlighting Prince William’s participation. The caption read, “A wonderful event to celebrate the reopening of the @notredamedeparis.” The Prince also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to connect with key leaders, stating, “Also a pleasure to spend time with @emmanuelmacron and @realdonaldtrump.”
While the invitation to Trump’s inauguration has not been officially confirmed, such an event would be significant for royal relations with the U.S. and signal continued diplomatic engagement under King Charles’s reign.
This reported invitation also underscores the Prince of Wales’s growing role in representing the monarchy on the global stage. William’s ability to connect with world leaders like Trump is seen as a reflection of his preparedness to take on increasing royal responsibilities.
As the date approaches, speculation will continue about whether the royal family will attend the inauguration and what this might mean for U.S.-UK relations moving forward.
