Britain will roll out a supersized royal welcome for Donald Trump's unprecedented second state visit on Wednesday, with the king to greet the US president who has compared himself to a monarch.

From a carriage ride with King Charles III to a flypast and a lavish state dinner in the nearly 1,000-year-old Windsor Castle, Britain is going to unprecedented levels to dazzle and flatter the mercurial Trump.
