Overview
- King Charles III hosted President Trump at Windsor Castle for a full ceremonial welcome featuring the largest recent guard of honour, with about 1,300 troops and roughly 120 horses.
- Trump laid a wreath at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb in St. George’s Chapel and exchanged gifts with the royals, including a replica of Dwight Eisenhower’s WWII sword and a commemorative leather volume from the king.
- Thames Valley Police said four people were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after activists projected an image of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein onto a Windsor tower, a stunt shared by Led By Donkeys.
- Thousands protested in central London under Stop Trump banners as a major security operation of more than 1,600 officers supported the visit.
- Viral clips circulated purporting to show etiquette lapses by Trump during the Windsor events, while the agenda now turns to defense, security and technology discussions with Starmer at Chequers.
