U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump touched down in London on Tuesday evening for Trump’s second state visit to the United Kingdom since returning to office in January. The visit, highly anticipated by both U.S. and U.K. media, has already captured public attention for its unusual and candid moments.
According to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, who analyzed footage of the couple’s arrival, President Trump immediately commented on the chilly London weather. After stepping off Air Force One, he reportedly told Melania, "Ooh, it's cold. I'm glad we're wearing our coats." Moments later, as they approached the aircraft steps, he appeared to warn her, saying, "Ooh, careful."
The couple was officially welcomed by U.K. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Warren Stephens, and Viscount Hood, King Charles’ lord-in-waiting. President Trump is set to stay overnight at Windsor Castle, though no official London events are scheduled for his itinerary on Tuesday.
Hickling noted other light-hearted exchanges between the president and first lady, including a comment about Melania’s hair being ruffled by the wind: "It's so windy, her hair has blown everywhere."
Security measures for the visit have been significantly increased, marking Trump’s first overseas travel since the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, reports about King Charles’ strategy to manage the former president have added further intrigue to the trip.
This visit comes amid widespread media attention, blending formal diplomacy with moments of candid interaction, and offers another glimpse into the dynamic between the Trumps and the British royal environment.
