Windsor Castle staff are busy preparing for a grand event. King Charles III is set to welcome U.S. President Donald Trump for his second state visit this week. This visit includes a lavish banquet and a display of royal pomp and ceremony. The goal is to strengthen ties with Trump, whose policies have disrupted traditional trade and security relationships. State visits are a key tool for the British monarchy to wield "soft power." The visit will feature a ride in horse-drawn carriages and a state banquet, aiming to foster goodwill and address important issues like trade and security.
