During the first day of Donald and Melania Trump’s state visit to the UK, a photo taken at Windsor Castle quickly went viral. The image showed King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Donald Trump, and Melania Trump viewing items from the Royal Collection. What caught attention online was Melania’s striking outfit, featuring a large hat that partially hid her face, creating a dramatic and unusual visual effect.
The picture sparked a wave of lighthearted comments on social media, with users playfully comparing the First Lady’s appearance to various objects due to the way she blended into the background. Many simply found the image humorous, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the visit.
During the same visit, Melania spent the morning with Queen Camilla touring parts of Windsor Castle, and later joined the Princess of Wales for an event with young scouts taking part in outdoor activities. At the banquet later that evening, Melania wore a bold yellow gown, which drew mixed reactions from royal watchers — some praising her style, while others felt it was too unconventional for a state dinner.
Despite online chatter, the visit remained focused on diplomacy. Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, while the royal family hosted ceremonial events, including a grand carriage procession and formal banquet. The viral photo added a lighter moment to an otherwise formal and historic occasion.
