The privileges Donald Trump is being denied on his UK state visit [View all]

Donald Trump is missing out on privileges offered to other heads of state, including his predecessor Barack Obama, during his visit the UK.

Trump and First Lady Melania arrive on June 3 for a state visit. During his three-day visit, the president will attend a banquet at Buckingham Palace, have a private tea with Charles, lay a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey and attend events to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

However, the US President has been denied additional perks attached to a state visit.

Unlike Obama, the current President has not been asked make an address in the Houses of Parliament.

He will also not participate in a carriage ride to Buckingham Palace, a decision attributed to ‘security concerns’.

And Mr Trump won’t stay in Buckingham Palace during his three-day visit due to renovation work.
