Melania Trump expressed her admiration for Kate Middleton with a concise five-word statement during the recent state visit. Accompanied by her husband, Donald Trump, the couple’s visit to Britain spanned two days and three nights before they returned to the United States.
Upon their arrival, the President and First Lady were graciously greeted by King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, where they were honored guests at a lavish state banquet. President Trump engaged in discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers while Melania participated in joint activities with Camilla and Kate at Windsor.
During a visit to Frogmore House, Melania interacted with Princess Kate and young Scouts, showcasing her respect for the future queen consort when a Scout asked if she would become the “next princess.” Melania responded by pointing to Kate and affirming, “She’s the only princess here.”
Donald Trump made history as the first U.S. president to have two state visits to Britain. His initial visit in 2019, during his first term in office, took place while Queen Elizabeth II was reigning and Theresa May served as Prime Minister.
At a state banquet at St George’s Hall, Trump conversed with King Charles, with lip-readers noting a moment where he expressed admiration for the monarch. Trump later described the second state visit as the “highest honor” of his life and praised the “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Upon their return to the USA, Trump commended the hospitality of the Royal Family and the UK during the visit. He spoke positively of King Charles, referring to him as a “wonderful guy” and expressed his appreciation for the warm reception they received. Melania also had a delightful time with Kate Middleton, with Trump describing the Duchess of Cambridge as “a very wonderful person.”
