President Donald Trump has lavished King Charles with praise ahead of his UK State Visit.

Moments before boarding Air Force One, the US President answered questions from reporters about his trip.

President Trump said visiting Windsor Castle will be a “great honour” before comparing it to Buckingham Palace, which he visited in his previous State Visit.

He said that the two royal residences are difficult to compare, but Windsor Castle can be considered “the ultimate”.

Speaking about King Charles, he said: “He represents the country so well. He’s such an elegant gentleman.”
