Many hope the visit from King Charles, whom the president still admires, will help mend the transatlantic relationship.
But royal biographer Catherine Mayer says the British government's decision to send the king at this turbulent time puts the royal couple in an awkward position.
Another delicate matter, she says, is the subject of the King's disgraced brother, Andrew, who had close ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

London's Metropolitan Police say a 16-year-old boy and two men aged 19 and 21 have been charged with arson with intent to endanger life.
Police officers were told on Wednesday that an ignited container was thrown at the offices of Volant Media, the parent company of the news channel Iran International, which has since put out a statement saying it won't be silenced by the attack.
The container landed in a parking lot and there were no injuries.
It comes after two other arson attacks in northwest London in recent weeks, including one targeting a synagogue and another on ambulances linked to a local Jewish charity.
Earlier this week, the Metropolitan Police said it was dealing with an unprecedented level of national security investigations with suspected links to foreign states.
Many, it said, with dangerous intentions.

Now, the Irish Taoiseach, or Prime Minister, has announced more than $500 million in tax cuts on petrol, diesel and gas oil to help those hit hardest by the rising costs.
But opposition party Sinn Féin says it will bring a motion of no confidence in the government's handling of the crisis.
Hundreds of fuel stations around the country remain without petrol or diesel as a result of the protests.
