Bucks MP John Bercow has allegedly turned down an invitation from the Queen to attend a state banquet with the US President Donald Trump.
The Buckingham MP and Commons speaker has reportedly been accused of disrespecting the Queen for "refusing" to attend the event at Buckingham Palace in June, national newspapers have said.
Mr Trump and his wife Melania will be guests of the Queen during their three-day visit from June 3.
A spokesman for Mr Bercow told the MailOnline: "Mr Speaker has been invited to the Banquet, but he will not be attending."
