  • Security protocol was tightened as the Palace and White House kept the procession inside Windsor, with the route shortened for safety concerns.
  • Police stopped a projection of images linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on a Windsor tower and reported four arrests connected to the stunt.
  • Large protests are planned in London, with the Metropolitan Police deploying more than 1,500 officers to manage demonstrations organized by groups including the Stop Trump Coalition.
