UK organizes grand feast for Trump, leaving one attendee feeling uncomfortable
In an extraordinary show, King Charles III laid on a grand banquet at Windsor Castle, just outside London, where former US President Donald Trump was among the guests. The dinner, which took a week to put together, featured a lengthy table of 2.7 Marine Ones, adorned with 139 candles, 1,452 pieces of cutlery, and over 100 staff.
The meal began with a quail egg salad accompanying a Hampshire watercress panna cotta, followed by an organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes. For dessert, guests enjoyed a vanilla ice cream bombe with a raspberry sorbet interior.
Other attendees included Prince William, Princess Catherine, Trump's daughter Tiffany, and her husband, as well as several US tech CEOs. An unexpected guest was Australian-born media magnate Rupert Murdoch, whose relationship with Trump has been strained, following a lawsuit by Trump against Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion over an article about a suggestive birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.
Despite this, Murdoch was seated far along the table from Trump, with the media mogul and the former President not sharing a table conversation. Trump, however, was reported to have dined on the meal despite being in the same room with Murdoch.
The Epstein scandal had already cast a shadow over the visit, leading to the sacking of UK ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson over his ties to Epstein. Trump has denied writing or signing the lewd birthday letter in question, which was released by the US Congress and reported by the Wall Street Journal and others, but its authenticity remains disputed.
Trump made a joke in his opening speech about King Charles remembering the names of all the dinner guests, expressing his positive sentiment towards Britain, stating that 'the word special does not begin to do it justice.'
The dinner took place amidst controversy, with no verified information confirming who attended the June 2025 dinner at Windsor Castle, nor any confirmed charge against Donald Trump related to that event. However, the event served as a reminder of the complex and intriguing relationships between global leaders and influential figures.
