Melania Trump expressed her genuine feelings about the visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla with a concise three-word statement. The royal couple’s arrival in Washington DC on Monday marked the beginning of their three-day visit to the United States, where they were warmly welcomed by US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump outside the iconic South Portico of the White House. Despite a shooting incident in Washington DC on Saturday night, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the state visit would proceed as planned.
The King expressed immense relief that President Trump was unharmed in the incident, leading to the confirmation that the visit would continue with slight adjustments to the schedule. The royal family appeared joyful as they interacted with the President and First Lady, engaging in tea and a garden party with guests like Team GB diver Tom Daley.
A lip reader revealed Melania Trump’s polite exchange with King Charles as they met outside the White House, where she expressed her delight with a brief three-word comment. Following the greetings, the two couples posed for photos before heading inside for tea. Trump’s action of tapping the King on the shoulder, breaking royal protocol, was seen as a gesture of friendship and affection.
The King is scheduled to address the US Congress, becoming the second monarch to do so after his mother did more than three decades ago. Both the King and President Trump will deliver speeches at a dinner, and the King will visit the 9/11 memorial to meet with first responders and victims’ families. The visit will conclude with a formal farewell to the Trumps before the royal couple heads to Bermuda, where the King serves as head of state.
