Counting the cost of Donald Trump’s state visit

Trump’s UK state visit is next week – how much will it cost taxpayers?
  • US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are set to make a second state visit to the UK.
  • The visit's itinerary includes an initial meeting with Prince William and Princess Kate at Windsor estate, a carriage procession to the castle, a state banquet at St George’s Hall, and a day at Chequers with the prime minister.
  • The Princess of Wales will accompany Melania Trump for a day at Frogmore Gardens to meet Chief Scout Dwayne Fields and members of the Squirrels programme.
  • The previous state visit by Mr Trump in 2019 incurred costs of around £3.9 million, mainly for policing, which would be over £5 million in today's money.
