During the formal state banquet hosted by King Charles, Donald Trump’s speech raised eyebrows as it appeared he confused Kate Middleton with Queen Camilla. While verbally acknowledging the queen’s grace, he looked at Kate, leading some to think he didn’t quite get the roles right.
Observers noticed Kate’s regal and commanding demeanor, which possibly influenced Trump’s posture and reaction during the evening. The president’s compliments toward Kate’s beauty and health were clear, although the mix-up lingered in social media discussions.
The banquet also featured warm exchanges between Trump and King Charles, including private praise noted by lip readers. The visit overall was historic but not without its lighter, human moments involving royal protocol.
