Queen Camilla and Melania Trump were seen laughing as they shared a very British joke with each other on the State Visit.

Donald Trump also joked about the grey weather and said it was “a beautiful British day” as the crowd laughed back at his humour. A 21-gun salute was played to greet the King and Queen, as well as the US and UK national anthems.

While the Queen and First Lady appeared to share a moment together, the President praised King Charles during his speech.

Donald Trump hailed the “special relationship” between America and the UK, telling the King “we hope it will always remain that way” and declaring “Americans have had no closer friends than the British”.

Trump, during his address, also made an odd remark about the crush his mum once had on the young monarch, as he also acknowledged the late Queen Elizabeth.

The US President said: “My mother, I just see it so clearly, she loved, I told the King that she loved the royal family and she loved the Queen, and any time the Queen was involved in the ceremony or anything, my mother would be glued to the television, and she’d say ‘look, Donald, look how beautiful that is’.

“She really did love the family but I also remember her saying very clearly, ‘Charles, look young Charles, he’s so cute’. My mother had a crush on Charles. Can you believe it?”

Later that day the King made a historic address to Congress on Capitol Hill – only the second British monarch to do so after his mother Queen Elizabeth II in 1991, and the first British king.

Charles told the assembled politicians, who repeatedly clapped and rose for multiple standing ovations, that the partnership between the two nations is “more important today than it has ever been”.
