Trump makes awkward royal blunder in TV interview hours before arriving in UK

Donald Trump has spoken ahead of his arrival in the UK for a two-day state visit, but he appears to have made an awkward blunder. The US President, who will touch down at Stansted Airport this evening, said he was looking forward to the "great honour" of being hosted at Windsor Castle for his second state visit.

However, Trump appeared to suggest that it was the first time such an occasion had been hosted at the Berkshire residence, as well as suggesting that the Castle was chosen because it's "the ultimate" compared to Buckingham Palace.

French President Macron was hosted at Windsor Castle for a state visit in July, with the formal event having to move out of London due to the current multi-million refurbishment works at the Palace.
