Here's who will get what

In honour of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence's adoption in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, and the union flag raised over Buckingham Palace on the day of the president's swearing in earlier this year, King Charles and Queen will present Trump with a custom, hand-bound leather book that was meticulously created by Windsor Castle's Royal Bindery, The Guardian reported.

Cara Murphy, a famous silversmith from Northern Ireland who has made pieces for Downing Street and the Grand National, will present Melania Trump with a silver and enamel bowl that has the queen's cypher.

Additionally, a personalised Anya Hindmarch handbag will be given to the First Lady.

The American couple will get a silver picture frame etched with their joint cyphers from the royal family.

The actions will be reciprocated with presents from Trump and Melania.

According to Buckingham Palace, a copy of a President Eisenhower sword that represents “profound respect” and serves as a “reminder of the historical partnership that was critical” to winning the Second World War will be presented to King Charles.

“The sword also symbolises the enduring values and co-operative spirit that continues to define the relationship between the United States and Great Britain,” the palace said.

A historic 18-carat gold, diamond, and ruby floral brooch from Tiffany & Co. will be presented to the queen. The brooch is meant to symbolize friendship, diplomacy, and respect.
