Story highlights President-elect Trump could visit the UK in 2017

UKIP politician Nigel Farage has already met Trump

London (CNN) Just over a week after revealing his mother was a big fan, President-elect Donald Trump may get his own audience with Queen Elizabeth II.

The British government says it is considering inviting Trump for a state visit in 2017 as Prime Minister Theresa May works to cement the "special relationship" between the two countries.

According to the London Times , the two leaders had a 10-minute telephone conversation after Trump's election victory. He reportedly told May that his mother was a huge admirer of the Queen and that the UK was a "very special place for me and my country."

A spokeswoman for May told reporters that "an invitation for a state visit is one of the things that is under consideration following the election of a new US president." Such a visit would typically involve a meeting with the Queen.

Trump's mother was born on the Scottish Isle of Lewis in 1912. She left for the United States in 1930 to work as a domestic servant.
