With Trump’s second state visit arriving very soon, many royal fans are looking back at other moments from the President’s first visit. One of which includes the hardworking Princess Anne.
In a resurfaced clip from 2019, Donald and Melania Trump were greeted by members of the royal family, including Camilla, Prince Charles and the Queen herself. Queen Elizabeth gestures to Princess Anne who was entering the doorway. The late monarch is telling her daughter off for failing to greet Donald and Melania Trump. However, Anne just shrugs in bewilderment. According to royal expert Valentine Low, Elizabeth wasn’t scolding her daughter in anyway, Anne primarily “raised her hands in the air, laughed and said: “It’s just me.”

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are officially scheduled to take place from September 17 to September 19. King Charles is set to host the couple at Windsor Castle.
Weeks before Trump’s second state visit, it’s been speculated that King Charlse was concerned with the President’s visit. “If King Charles is concerned President Trump will speak out of turn, he has good reason to think that,” Brittani Barger, co-founder of Royal News, told Daily Express U.S at the time, “President Trump does not hide his feelings or opinions, no matter who is around. And that is one reason so many people love him, but so many also dislike him.”
Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine and the author of the book My Mother and I , noted the importance of the occasion to “strengthen” the relationship between the United States and United Kingdom. “This particular state visit is very significant,” she told Fox News. “Everyone is calling it the ‘soft power’ of the monarchy. King Charles can’t do anything remotely political or even say anything remotely political because that’s our constitution. He’s head of state, and he’s monarch, but he doesn’t get involved in politics. … But this event strengthens the relationship between both nations, and it’s one everyone is looking forward to.”
King Charles, Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton are scheduled to greet the couple upon first arrival. The source continued, “The royal family is especially looking forward to this. Trump is extremely flattering of the royal family. … The late queen was very amused by Trump, and she liked him. There is a good feeling all around before it has even started.”
