Donald and Melania Trump have wrapped up their three-day state visit to the UK, returning to the United States after a packed schedule filled with high-level meetings and royal encounters.
It marked the second time Donald Trump has been invited on a state visit — an unprecedented honor, following his first trip when he was received by the late Queen Elizabeth II. This time, the former president and first lady were welcomed at Windsor by Prince William and Princess Kate, before joining King Charles and Queen Camilla for a lavish state banquet.
Kate and Melania’s Joint Engagement
On Thursday, the spotlight shifted to Melania and Kate, who teamed up for a day of engagements. The pair toured Queen Mary’s Dolls House and the Royal Library at Windsor Castle before heading to Frogmore Gardens. There, they joined children from the Scouts’ Squirrels program for arts and crafts activities.
Melania knelt with youngsters pressing inked leaves onto paper and cheerfully remarked, “This is beautiful!” One child even took her by the hand to show off homemade “bug hotels,” prompting her to admit that her favorite insect is the ladybug.

Meanwhile, Kate sat on the grass chatting with other children about their projects. Both women brought thoughtful gifts: Kate packed sandwiches with honey from her family’s Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, while Melania offered honey sourced from the White House.
