Donald Trump has been "bowled over" by the British Royal Family during his two-day trip.

Before officially wrapping up their UK State Visit, the US President and his wife, Melania Trump posed for one last photo alongside Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.

It's understood Mr Trump told Her Majesty: "It was a great honour to be with you."

The US President then reportedly gushed about the monarch to the White House Press Pool, saying: "Great woman. Great, great woman."

Victoria Arbiter, 9Honey's royal columnist says the Queen has made quite the impression on the President and First Lady during their short trip.

"POTUS & FLOTUS have clearly been bowled over by the Queen this week," Arbiter tweeted.

"She's long impressed captains of industry & those in powerful positions. Republicans have even called her 'untouchable' but this is the first time I have seen Mr. Trump exhibit such deference to another person."

Trump arrived in London on Monday and was the guest of honour at a State Banquet in Buckingham Palace the same evening.

The US President and First Lady re-paid the favour with a State Dinner at the US Embassy on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday they joined the Royals again, along with other world leaders to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day - the Normandy landings of WWII.

Trump is heading to his golf club in Ireland next before returning back to Washington.
