A real royal welcome for US's Trump
The Sentinel
|September 18, 2025
DONALD Trump was treated to an unprecedented display of military pomp and pageantry as his historic second state visit began with a spectacular ceremonial welcome.
-
The US president and First Lady Melania Trump also received a personal, family-centred greeting from the King and his immediate family - with Mr Trump in turn complimenting the Princess of Wales.
About 1,500 troops in total were involved in the ceremonial events throughout the day - almost double those on duty for the recent state visit of France's President Emmanuel Macron.
The day featured a carriage procession through the grounds of Windsor Castle accompanied by a sovereign’s escort of 80 mounted soldiers - similar to scenes from Trooping the Colour - and a 120-strong guard of honour, the largest staged for a state visit in living memory.
