Overview

  • King Charles hosted President Trump and First Lady Melania at a Windsor Castle state banquet for roughly 160 guests, with Trump seated between the King and the Princess of Wales.
  • Buckingham Palace rejected reports of a heated confrontation between royal chefs and U.S. Secret Service agents, calling the story “categorically untrue.”
  • A viral image showing Trump eating spaghetti at the banquet was shown to be edited, and the official French‑language menu listed watercress panna cotta, chicken ballotine and a vanilla ice‑cream bombe.
  • Event optics drew attention, including official video of Prince William briefly holding Kate’s hand on arrival and footage of Trump appearing to look toward Kate while thanking Queen Camilla in his toast.
  • Coverage noted Trump abstained from the curated wines and special cocktail due to his teetotal stance, and he later praised the visit and the royal hospitality.
