One of the standout moments from Donald and Melania Trump\u2019s UK state visit was undoubtedly the royal banquet. The former president, a longtime admirer of the British monarchy, delivered a speech while seated next to Princess Catherine, the future queen. But did he realize she wasn\u2019t actually the Queen? Some royal enthusiasts think he might have mixed them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Historic Second State Visit
Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to receive a second state visit, this time hosted by King Charles. On Wednesday night, he and Melania attended a state banquet, where they were formally welcomed into the royal circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evening, however, wasn\u2019t without its share of headlines. Melania\u2019s outfit drew public attention, and body language experts analyzed Trump\u2019s interactions with the royals \u2014 particularly Kate Middleton, who was seated to his right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook how regal she looks\u2026 [Kate is] looking at Donald Trump like a childish, impish comment has been made. There is something going on here where either Kate has an effect on him, or there\u2019s a narrative in his head that results in him deferring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durham described this dynamic as a rare moment where Trump appeared to take a back seat, with Kate seemingly asserting subtle influence over the conversation.Praise for the Princess of Wales
From the moment Trump and Melania stepped off Marine One, they were greeted by Prince William and Princess Catherine. Reports say Trump complimented Kate warmly, telling her, \u201cYou\u2019re so beautiful,\u201d before continuing to praise her during his banquet speech:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo see Her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy, and so beautiful, it\u2019s really a great honor. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some royal watchers noticed that when Trump referred to \u201cthe Queen\u201d as \u201cvery, very special,\u201d his gaze seemed to be directed at Kate \u2014 prompting speculation online that he may have confused Princess Catherine with Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admiration for King Charles
While Trump may have mixed up titles, he did express admiration for King Charles as well. Lip reader Jeremy Freeman shared that, off-mic, Trump told the monarch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so incredible, it\u2019s what you do so well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, Trump\u2019s respect for the royal family was evident, even if royal titles appeared to cause a moment of confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
