Trump and Melania arrived belated for a gathering with the King of Britain.
Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed Donald Trump and Melania Trump on the lawn of Windsor Castle, both dressed in burgundy suits and hats. King Charles III and Queen Camilla were also present, waiting for the arrival of the Trumps. The visit, which started with a 15-minute delay, marked the beginning of Donald Trump and Melania Trump's visit to the UK today.
The couple arrived at Windsor Castle's lawn by helicopter, and the U.S. President is set to spend the entire day with the royal family. Melania Trump's clothing choice, a black mourning suit consisting of a jacket and a knee-length skirt, brightened by a fuchsia hat, has raised speculations about her apparent mourning. However, no further information was provided about the reason for her mourning attire.
The visit was not without controversy. Local activists projected a photo of Donald Trump and the late American magnate Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle's tower, an act that led to four arrests by the police for unauthorized activity. Epstein, who reportedly supplied underage girls to the 'elite,' was said to have had Prince Andrew, the king's brother, among his circle of friends.
Despite the scandal, Prince Andrew's privileges were not completely stripped away. Jeffrey Epstein died mysteriously in prison, a death that continues to be a subject of interest and controversy.
Camilla had to rush to get ready for the visit as she couldn't attend the funeral of the Duchess of Kent due to acute sinusitis. The British economy, it is said, depends directly on Donald Trump, adding another layer of significance to this visit.
Charlie Kirk, a close associate of Donald Trump, was recently murdered, and Melania Trump's mourning attire has led some to speculate a connection. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding this matter.
As the day progresses, more details about the visit are expected to emerge. The royal family and the Trump family are set to engage in a series of events, providing a unique blend of tradition and modern politics.
