“Donald Trump’s well documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales,” the petition reads.
Having hit over 100,000 signatures, the petition will require not only a response from the government but a parliamentary debate.
Support for the petition gathered pace after Mr. Trump’s inauguration, and the visit of Prime Minister Theresa May to Washington, and Philadelphia, where she promised to work with Mr. Trump to “stand strong together to defend our values, interests and ideas”.
During the visit, Ms. May said that Queen Elizabeth had extended an invitation for a state visit to Mr. Trump.
“The invitation has been extended and accepted,” said a spokesperson for Downing Street on Monday, who declined to comment further on the petition itself.
