On Wednesday, the US President addressed some 160 guests at the Windsor Castle State Banquet, paying particular attention to the Princess of Wales.
Trump visit follows King Charles’ State Banquet address.
Donald Trump has seemingly taken a fresh swipe at Prince Harry while praising both Prince William and his ‘beautiful’ wife, Princess Kate.
The President and his wife Melania were guests of honour at a lavish State Banquet in St George’s Hall inside Windsor Castle, hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla on Wednesday evening.
And Trump addressed the 160 guests who had been invited for the special occasion, and paid tribute to the royals – making a special effort to single out the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The President, who was seated between Charles and Kate, also expressed his appreciation for raising a remarkable son and, uh, really amazing Prince of Wales. We’ve met you, and I believe you have a fantastic future and success.

Melania and I are thrilled to see Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, who is so radiant, healthy, and beautiful, during our next visit together with Prince William, he said, speaking to the Princess. It’s truly a great honor. “Thank you.”
Kate could be seen giggling and bowing her head in gratitude in response to Mr. Trump’s gushing words.

Trump has previously referred to the beauty of the Princess in his UK visit. As their helicopter Marine One touched down in Windsor Castle on Wednesday afternoon, Wilma and Kate welcomed the president and first lady.
The president appeared to say, “Hello, my friend,” as the prince was first greeted with a handshake and the president was affectionately patting the prince’s right arm. “How are you?” She smiled broadly as he appeared to say, “You’re so beautiful, so beautiful. You’re so beautiful.
The US leader added that this was “one of the highest honors of my life, such respect for you and such respect for your country” in his speech at the State Banquet.
A state banquet features lavish food and wine, speeches, royal toasts, trumpet fanfares, and state banquets.
For Trump’s visit, the 160 guests ate from a menu, written in French, which translated as: Hampshire Watercress Panna Cotta with Parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad; Organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes with a thyme and savoury infused jus; Vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria plums.
In honor of Trump being the 45th US president, there was also a sizable wine list and a 1945 vintage port after-dinner beverage list, which he did not consume alcohol.
