| First Minister Eluned Morgan has declined the King's invitation to a state banquet with Donald Trump at Windsor Castle |
Wales' First Minister Eluned Morgan has turned down the King's invitation to a state banquet with Donald Trump at Windsor Castle.
The US President arrived in London on Tuesday night with First Lady Melania Trump for his second state visit.
On Tuesday night the Welsh government said Morgan wanted to support colleagues at an "incredibly difficult time" after the recent death of Caerphilly Senedd member Hefin David.
On Wednesday a spokesperson said there was a "private engagement tonight between the first minister and MSs" after Mr David's death. Conservative Senedd leader Darren Millar said it would be seen as a "snub" by the United States and was "deeply regrettable".
