about 20 hours ago·View on White House

Key Points

  • Trump and Melania Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the White House to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. The visit focused on the long history and friendship between the two countries.
  • Melania Trump hosted a special event where students used virtual reality headsets to visit Buckingham Palace. These students were winners of a national AI competition and got to talk with the Queen and the First Lady about what they saw.
  • The visit included a very formal white tie dinner with guests from business, sports, and government. The decorations looked like British gardens, and the dessert was a honey cake made with honey from the White House's own bees.
  • The military honored the royal couple with a 21-gun salute and a parade involving 500 service members. This was the first time a specific type of military review was held right at the White House.
