Trump hosts king charles and queen camilla for historic state visit

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump welcomed British monarchs King Charles and Queen Camilla to the United States, kicking off a four-day state visit marked by pomp and diplomatic significance.

Private tea sets the tone

The royals touched down at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, beginning an itinerary that includes Charles' historic address to Congress, the first by a British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II in 1991.

Trump and the Queen Consort Camilla shared a private tea ahead of the formal events, a gesture underscoring the warm relations between the two leaders. The First Lady struck a stylish note in a pale yellow Adam Lippes skirt suit, mirroring a past choice worn during a September 2022 visit to the UK.

Camilla opted for a white mid-length dress adorned with cobalt blue embroidery along the V-neckline, a subtle yet elegant touch. The sartorial choices by the First Lady and Queen Consort set the stage for a state visit steeped in tradition and modern flair.
