Donald Trump, accompanied by Melania, attended the banquet as part of his two-day state visit to the UK. The couple joined King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine for the formal dinner, where the former president delivered a speech praising the strong ties between the U.S. and the UK. He also singled out Prince William as a “remarkable” heir to the throne and described Princess Catherine as “radiant, healthy, and beautiful,” comments that were widely noted by royal watchers.
