Overview

• Trump and First Lady Melania attended the state banquet at Windsor Castle, with the president seated between King Charles III and the Princess of Wales.
• The widely shared image of Trump eating spaghetti at the banquet is edited, and the published French menu confirms no pasta was served.
• After tabloid reports alleged Secret Service agents disrupted the royal kitchen by checking and tasting dishes, Buckingham Palace called the claims categorically untrue.
• Video from Trump’s speech shows him looking toward Princess Kate while praising Queen Camilla, fueling protocol chatter without altering the event’s confirmed facts.
• Trump abstained from alcohol despite a curated wine and spirits selection and a bespoke Transatlantic whisky sour, consistent with his long‑stated teetotalism.
