Donald Trump will not be given the honour of addressing Parliament during his state visit as Emmanuel Macron did this week, The Telegraph understands.

The date of the US president’s trip is being deliberately timed for mid-September, when there is a parliamentary recess, handing the UK an excuse for not offering the speech.

Mr Trump is also not expected to visit Buckingham Palace, which is being restored, or enjoy a ceremonial carriage ride down the Mall in London – features of many past state visits from world leaders. Mr Macron did not visit the palace.

There had been concerns that Labour MPs could protest against a joint address to Parliament, possibly by staying away en masse, causing potential embarrassment to Mr Trump.

It means he will not achieve something enjoyed by his predecessors Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

The lack of an address to Parliament risks a backlash from the US president, who British officials privately acknowledge is sensitive to perceived slights.
