During an Official Visit to America in 2026 the King and Queen exchanged gifts with Donald Trump and the First Lady, with the Royal couple giving the US President the Ships Bell from a historic submarine. Donald Trump officially welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla with an unprecedented military ceremony on the lawns of the White House on Tuesday 27th April, 2026.
King Charles paid tribute to America's 'special relationship' with the UK by giving him the Bell from the HMS Trump,which served in the Pacific in the latter part of the war. The king he added;
I'm delighted to present to you the original Bell which hung on the conning tower of your valiant namesake. May it stand as a testimony to our nation's shared history and shining future. Should you ever need to get hold of us, just give us a ring,
Barrow Submariners Association Branch Member, Peter Schofield served in HMS Trump when the Submarine was based in Australia with the 4th Submarine Flotilla in Sydney and is surprised by this gift. Given that it was thought that the HMS Trump Ships Bell was held as an artefact by the Submarine Museum. Peter wonders where they got the bell from to gift it to the President. George Malcolmson, who was for many years a fixture in the Submarine Museum, also wonders how the Bell became available for gifting to the President.
