A new photo of Donald Trump and King Charles III from last night’s regal state banquet has quickly gone viral — and everyone is saying the same thing.
On Tuesday, September 17, the British Royal Family welcomed the U.S. President, 79, and First Lady, 55, to Windsor Castle for the start of a historic two-day state visit. It was Trump’s second time on an official state trip to the U.K., his first being in 2019 when Queen Elizabeth II was still on the throne.
This time around, the itinerary has been packed, with the President and First Lady spending time with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate. One of the highlights was Tuesday night’s white tie banquet in St George’s Hall, where Trump addressed 160 guests, praising the “special” bond between Britain and America.
“We’re joined by history and faith, by love and language and by transcendent ties of culture, tradition, ancestry and destiny,” he told the room.
As expected, the evening produced a stream of official photographs, later shared across royal and White House social media accounts. But one shot in particular — showing Trump standing next to King Charles with a wide grin — has set the internet alight.
