On September 17, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump attended a state banquet in the United Kingdom hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle. The event was part of President Trump’s official state visit, aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties between the U.S. and the UK.
During his speech at the banquet, President Trump praised Prince William, calling him a “remarkable son.” He also spoke about Princess Kate, referring to her as “so radiant, so healthy and so beautiful.” The remarks came several months after the Princess of Wales publicly shared that she had been diagnosed with cancer in March 2024, and later announced in January 2025 that she was in remission.
While the comments drew attention online and were widely discussed, official reactions from the royal family have not been released. Reports noted that Kate smiled as Trump spoke, and the evening continued with the scheduled program celebrating the long-standing relationship between the two nations.
This visit marks President Trump’s second state banquet in the UK. The event highlighted ongoing diplomatic cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom, with leaders emphasizing shared values and the importance of maintaining strong international partnerships.
