During a state banquet at Windsor Castle, hosted by King Charles on their official UK visit, President Donald Trump seemed to “snub” Queen Camilla.
As he addressed the royals and other attendees at the Royal residence, he thanked “His Majesty and Queen Camilla”, while seemingly ignoring the Princess of Wales, who was seated to his right.
At the dinner in St George’s Hall, both King Charles and Donald Trump delivered speeches. President Trump expressed deep gratitude to the monarchs for their “extraordinary graciousness”.
He added, “William and Kate, thank you so much. It’s been great being with you today. Thank you very much; we appreciate it.”
In his toast, he also described his second State Visit as “truly one of the highest honors of my life.”
Queen Camilla also selected a shrewdly British ensemble, continuing her color scheme from their earlier engagements of the day in a vibrant blue silk Fiona Clare dress with billowing sleeves, and a coordinating blue sash.
The King’s remarks, delivered at an opulent dinner for 160 guests at Windsor Castle, highlighted the profound bonds between the two nations and the necessity of preserving their cultural, commercial, and military ties.
The state banquet followed a day brimming with ceremony and spectacle for Mr Trump, who was honored with a carriage procession and military parade.
Mr Trump declared it was a “singular privilege” to be the first American president to be granted a second state banquet, adding: “This is truly one of the highest honours of my life, such respect for you and such respect for your country.”
The King also addressed the environment in his remarks and said that “in striving for a better world, we also have a precious opportunity to safeguard and to restore the wonders and beauty of nature for the generations who follow us”.
In more playful comments, the monarch said, “I cannot help but wonder what our forefathers from 1776 would make of our friendship,” to audible laughter from the president.
