Britain’s Prince Harry will join Queen Elizabeth II at a private lunch with Donald Trump and his wife Melania next month, CNN has learned.
The lunch takes place on the first day of the US President’s state visit to the UK.
Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is not expected to attend. She has not resumed public engagements since the birth of their son Archie Harrison.
Historically, Harry has only participated in the state visit by Spain’s monarch, where he accompanied the Spanish delegation to Westminster Abbey. CNN’s royal source says that going forward, they hope to see the Sussexes participate in more state events.
Buckingham Palace on Friday also revealed the schedule for Trump’s three-day visit, which starts on June 3.

The President and first lady will be officially welcomed at Buckingham Palace in London by the Queen, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Trump will receive a Ceremonial Welcome in the palace garden, and then inspect the guard of honor, made up of Nijmegen Company Grenadier Guards, with Charles. Meanwhile, royal gun salutes will be fired in nearby Green Park, and at the Tower of London.
