King Charles will use his "true home", Windsor Castle, to host Donald Trump when he undergoes his unprecedented second state visit, a property expert exclusive told GB News.
The US President and First Lady's trip follows negotiations between Sir Keir Starmer and Trump as Britain seeks to bolster transatlantic relations, and whilst dates remain unconfirmed, reports suggest Trump has approved the Windsor Castle location.
Property expert Terry Fisher at We Buy Any Home, told the People's Channel: "Buckingham Palace might be the more famous royal address, but Windsor Castle is arguably more personal - it's where the late Queen Elizabeth II spent her final years and where King Charles III hosted his first state visit."
He added: "With Buckingham Palace currently undergoing extensive renovations, Windsor has stepped up as the backdrop for key royal events. It's a reminder that while Buckingham is the 'office', Windsor is the true home."

The venue was selected over Scottish alternatives including Balmoral and Dumfries House, which the King had proposed in February.
The castle carries particular meaning for Trump, who cherishes his 2018 visit there with the late Queen Elizabeth II when the pair took tea with Her Majesty and inspected the guard.
Trump reportedly favoured Windsor's more imposing backdrop for official photographs as the visit represents a key element of Britain's diplomatic strategy amidst continuing trade disputes with America.
Fisher explained Windsor Castle's unique appeal for hosting state visits, telling GB News: "Windsor Castle isn't just a residence; it's the beating heart of British royal heritage. As the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, it's a living, breathing symbol of the monarchy's endurance and tradition - a home that has seen over 40 monarchs and nearly a thousand years of history."

Fisher emphasised the castle's dual nature: "It's where state and family life meet - a working royal palace, a private home and a national treasure all rolled into one.
"From the 12th-century Round Tower to the Gothic splendour of St George's Chapel, it's a showcase of British craftsmanship through the ages."
The expert noted the castle's resilience through centuries, stating it "has survived wars, sieges and even the Great Fire of 1992, which led to a massive restoration effort."
He described this restoration as "a landmark moment, blending traditional skills with modern techniques - and it's one of the reasons the castle still stands strong today."

The property expert outlined how King Charles III has brought changes to Windsor.
He explained: "Under King Charles III, Windsor Castle is seeing a subtle but important shift. While it remains a place for state functions and royal events, there is a stronger focus on sustainability, reflecting the King’s long-standing environmental priorities. Windsor is evolving in line with the monarch’s values, while still honouring its history."
Visitors have praised the castle's grandeur with Michael Bailey, who received his MBE there, describing the location as "lovely pomp and ceremony" and "immaculate" lawns.
He recalled to GB News how staff "took us through the various halls and dining halls and explained everything. We saw lots of the paintings."
