Viral Photo of Trump Eating Spaghetti at Windsor Banquet Is Fake

Independent fact-checks confirm the banquet image was digitally altered.

King Charles III delivers his speech as US President Donald Trump and Catherine, Princess of Wales listen during the State Banquet at Windsor Castle for the State visit by the President of the United States of America on September 17, 2025 in Windsor, England.
Donald Trump was seated between King Charles and Kate Middleton at the state banquet.

Overview

  • Lead Stories verified that no one was eating during King Charles III's speech by reviewing press video showing empty plates at the table.
  • A BBC-published translation of the official state banquet menu did not include spaghetti, contradicting the claim.
  • Hindustan Times cited Grok's analysis concluding the image appears edited or AI-generated with no record of pasta being served.
  • The picture spread widely on X via popular and unverified accounts and was later flagged with a Community Note stating it was fabricated.
  • The claim centered on the September 17 Windsor Castle banquet that President Trump attended, where he was seated between King Charles III and the Princess of Wales.
