First Lady Melania Trump and Princess Kate are set to make history with their first joint outing together during President Donald Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom.
On Wednesday, Prince William and Princess Kate greeted President Trump and the First Lady as they disembarked Marine One upon landing on the grounds of the Windsor estate. The couple was then taken to meet the King and Queen.
Princess Kate was dressed in a bold, burgundy Emilia Wickstead dress paired with a matching hat by Jane Taylor, featuring a feather brooch. Kate’s hat, made from luxury felt with a satin bow and veiling, retails for £2,330 and is made to measure. Meanwhile, Melania Trump wore a Christian Dior Haute Couture dark grey suit complemented by a wide-brimmed purple hat that obscured her eyes.
Later in the day, the two women will visit Frogmore Gardens together as part of President Trump’s second state visit, marking their first solo outing without their respective spouses. During this visit, Melania and Kate will meet UK Scoutmaster Dwayne Fields and members of the Scouts Squirrels program. A former Scout herself, Kate has served as co-president of the Scout Association since 2020.
Ahead of their historic outing, Melania Trump and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, joined their respective spouses for the Beating Retreat military ceremony. Camilla chose a royal blue dress and matching hat, accessorized with three strands of pearls, a gold brooch, and a handbag that matched her shoes.
The Trumps stayed overnight on Tuesday at the U.S. Ambassador’s residence in London before traveling to Windsor Castle on Wednesday for a ceremonial welcome and a lavish state banquet.
Melania’s itinerary for the short visit also includes an outing with Camilla. Together, the two will visit Queen Mary’s Dollhouse and the Royal Library at Windsor Castle.
This trip carries extra significance as the late Queen Elizabeth previously hosted the Trumps for a state visit during his first term. President Trump is now the first elected political leader in modern history to be invited to two state visits by British monarchs.
Crowds have turned out to support the U.S. President in the Berkshire town. Dianne, 52, from North London, told The Independent that she believes Trump is a special man. However, thousands are expected to demonstrate against the president’s stay on the streets of London later in the week.
The U.S. President’s visit is under tight security. Four arrests were made near Windsor after images of Trump and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle.
Wednesday’s events include a military parade described by the Ministry of Defence as the largest guard of honour ever held at a state visit. The day will also feature gun salutes, a joint U.S.-U.K. flypast, a carriage procession, and a lavish state banquet.
