Trump praises 'healthy' Kate, delivers tribute to King Charles
Share this @internewscast.com

President Donald Trump complimented Princess Kate as ‘radiant’ and ‘healthy’ when he raised his glass in a toast to King Charles during an opulent state dinner at Windsor Castle on Wednesday night.

The U.S. president was seated between the king and Kate Middleton, while the First Lady, Melania Trump, and Queen Camilla occupied seats directly opposite their spouses.

He spoke highly of both royals. 

Trump humorously remarked, ‘I just stood in line and shook hands with about 150 people. The king recognized each person and every company, even those with unusual names like XYZ-Q3. He knew them all.’

‘Or at least I think he did, because nobody was complaining,’ Trump said to laughs. ‘I was very impressed with that.’  

Switching to a serious tone, Trump expressed his deep appreciation for the exceptional second state dinner hosted by the British royal family, calling it ‘one of the highest honors of my life.’

‘Such profound regard for you and your nation,’ Trump conveyed to the king. ‘For many years, his majesty has represented the strength, nobility, and essence of the British monarchy and its people.’

Trump acknowledged Charles’s dedication to maintaining the splendor and distinctiveness of the kingdom and also commended the king’s efforts in environmental conservation.

The president also acknowledged Charles’ work as a father, telling him he’s raised a ‘remarkable son.’ 

Trump told Prince William, who was seated across the grand table, that ‘we’ve gotten to know you’ and the future king will have an ‘unbelievable success in the future.’ 

‘Melania and I are delighted to visit again with Prince William and to see Her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy and so beautiful,’ Trump said. 

The princess is now in remission after being treated with chemotherapy for cancer. 

The president gave a nod to Camilla at the end of his speech, too. 

‘On behalf of all Americans, I offer a toast to one of the great friendships. To two great countries and to His Majesty, King Charles III, a very, very special man and also a very, very special queen,’ Trump said. 

At the top of his remarks, Trump relished how he was the first American president to get a second state from the British monarchy.

His first took place in 2019 with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

‘It’s a lot of presidents,’ Trump commented. ‘And this was the second state visit – and that’s the first – and maybe that’s going to be the last time.’

‘I hope it is actually,’ the president said to laughs. 

For the second visit, the palace made sure Trump was treated to even grander displays of pomp – a carriage ride, two musical military demonstrations and a red, white and blue flyover. 

Both Kate and Melania Trump wore dresses with gold tones, with the first lady sporting an off-shoulder yellow gown with sleeves and a pink belt. 

Kate opted for a gold lace gown and spectacular crown, paired with a royal blue sash. 

The only one of Trump’s children to travel with him on the U.K. trip was Tiffany Trump, who sported an off-shoulder midnight blue gown. 

Camilla also sported a bold blue.  

Tiffany was seated next to Apple’s Tim Cook – as the number of tech titans invited to the dinner displayed Trump’s newfound popularity in Silicon Valley.

 Also invited – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman. 

Tiffany brought along her husband, Michael Boulos, who was cut from the guest list during the 2019 state dinner at Buckingham Palace as the couple hadn’t gotten married yet. 

Despite Trump expressing his displeasure with some of the tycoon’s media companies, Rupert Murdoch snagged an invite – along with his wife Elena. 

The founder of Newsmax, Christopher Ruddy, was also on hand. 

On the menu Wednesday night: Hampshire watercress panna cotta with parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad, organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes with a thyme and savory infused jus, and vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria plums. 

The 160 guests – invited by the White House, the British government and the palace – were seated at one large table that was 57.51 yards long. 

One hundred and thirty-nine candles decorated the table with flowers brought in from the gardens of Buckingham Palace and the Saville Garden in Windsor Great Park.
