According to the Daily Mail [Full Details Here], the Prince and Princess of Wales were deployed, at the start of the royal charm offensive, to greet the Trumps in the Walled Garden on the Windsor Estate when the Marine One helicopter arrived – with Mr. Trump telling Kate: ‘You’re beautiful’, according to a lip reader.
In one of a number of flourishes being added to the American leader’s trip, the helicopter landed on the lawn of the garden nestled in the private Home Park.
WATCH:
William and Kate welcomed the Trumps and walked a short distance with them to meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla outside Victoria House to launch the trip.
In total, around 120 horses and 1,300 members of the British military were involved in the ceremonial welcome at Windsor, with 160 personnel from the Royal Marines and Royal Navy, 1,000 from the British Army and 140 from the Royal Air Force.
This is well in excess of the 850 who took part in French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit in July.
The Trumps joined the King and Queen and William and Kate for a carriage procession through the Windsor Estate towards the castle.
Eighty soldiers from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment formed the Sovereign’s Escort travelling with the carriages, with the Life Guards dressed in their red tunics and white plumed helmets and Blues and Royals in their blue tunics and red plumes. (READ MORE)
