In pictures: Trump and Melania meet royals at Windsor

President Donald Trump embarked on his second state visit to the United Kingdom, where he was warmly received by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and other senior members of the British royal family at Windsor Castle. The visit, marked by traditional British pageantry, began with a ceremonial greeting and an inspection of the guard of honour. Accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, the President arrived at the castle via Marine One, the presidential helicopter, and was met by the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Trumps were then escorted to the Green Drawing Room, where a special exhibition celebrating the historic ties between the UK and the US was on display. Among the artifacts was John Smith’s ‘Generall Historie of Virginia, New England and the Summer Isles,’ published in 1624. The day continued with a visit to St. George’s Chapel, where the couple laid a wreath at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II and toured the chapel, including Henry VIII’s vault. The evening concluded with a grand state banquet attended by prominent figures, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and media mogul Rupert Murdoch. King Charles delivered a speech honouring President Trump, who expressed his gratitude for the hospitality. However, the visit was not without controversy, as large-scale protests erupted in central London, with demonstrators gathering near BBC headquarters and Parliament Square under the banner ‘Trump Not Welcome.’ Despite the mixed reception, the visit underscored the enduring diplomatic relationship between the two nations.
