Defining a Official Tour?
A official journey constitutes an arranged visit to Britain by the head of a country.
Invitations are customarily extended at the request of the sovereign, following government advice.

Traditionally, American leaders in their final term—like President Trump—do not typically receive a formal invitation.
Rather, arrangements are made for tea or lunch with the royal figurehead, similar to past leaders Obama and George W Bush.
However, in February, the UK leader offered the president an invitation from King Charles III during a Washington discussion to talk over a UK-US trade deal.
The leader stated the gesture represented a "truly historic" and "never-before-seen" occasion.
The president commented it was a "great, great honour" to be granted the invitation.
