👑 King Charles III and Queen Camilla host President Trump and the First Lady at Windsor with an unprecedentedly large honor guard, a “beating retreat,” and Red Arrows flyover—designed to impress ahead of tougher policy talks.
🎖️ A state banquet caps a spectacle Melania Trump planned for months, as top officials including Marco Rubio and other aides join, signaling relationship‑building before Chequers discussions on trade, tariffs, and tech.
📍 Protests draw thousands in London but are kept far from Windsor; the carriage procession ran inside Windsor Great Park with no public access amid security and optics considerations.
🌍 Behind the pomp, sensitive issues loom: Ukraine aid, climate priorities dear to the King, and managing a transatlantic relationship as London seeks to lock in gains with a president skeptical of post‑WWII norms.
