President Donald Trump and Melania Trump’s state visit to the UK is in full swing.
After warm greetings on the grounds of Windsor Castle with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, the president and first lady attended a banquet with the royals at St George’s Hall on Wednesday evening.
Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos, were also guests at the dinner, along with tech CEOs, including Tim Cook and Sam Altman.
The Trumps and the royal family were dressed to the nines for the white-tie banquet, and the first lady and the Princess of Wales arrived in arguably the most eye-catching ensembles of the night.
