Inside the castle grounds, the mood was more hushed, steeped in ceremony.
Trump and the King walked between the neat lines of soldiers wearing their traditional red jackets and tall bearskin jackets, before attending lunch inside Windsor Castle’s State Dining Room. The menu has not been revealed.
After lunch, King Charles and Queen Camilla took the president and first lady to view a special display of artifacts connected to the U.S. from the Royal Collection.
Trump was then set to pay a visit to the crypt of St. George’s Chapel, where Queen Elizabeth II is buried, to lay a wreath.
He is also set to tour the chapel itself, built in 1475 under Edward IV and completed under Henry VIII, a site of worship for the royal family and resting place of monarchs including George VI, the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.
Outside Windsor’s walls, the picture was not so welcoming.
Almost 25 miles away in central London, demonstrators gathered for a march protesting Trump’s visit.
Many carried signs reading “stop Trump,” “stop fascism,” and “stop the genocide,” in reference to Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
Organizers said thousands had signed up to join, with more than 1,500 police officers deployed as the march made its way through the capital toward Parliament.
