Kate Middleton and Melania Trump’s First Official Joint Engagement Will Be a Walk in the Park

Kate Middleton and Melania Trump will appear in public for a joint engagement this week. The two leading ladies are scheduled to make a public outing together during President Donald Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom.

The head of state and his wife will be in Britain from September 16 to 18. On September 17, Prince William and Kate Middleton will officially welcome the couple upon their arrival at Windsor Castle, then accompany them to a meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla.

After the formal welcome, the Prince and Princess of Wales will join the Trumps and British monarchs for a carriage procession through Windsor to the castle, where the state visit will officially take place.

A Guard of Honor inspection and military march are scheduled. Following that, there will be a luncheon in the castle and a special exhibition of objects from the Royal Collection relating to the United States. In the evening, Charles and Camilla will hold a state banquet at Windsor, where they will be joined by with Kate, William and other members of the royal family.

As Prince and Princess of Wales since King Charles ascended the throne, William and Kate play a prominent role in state visits and will continue to do so on this occasion.

Kate Middleton and Melania Trump’s public outing is scheduled for September 18. The two will travel to Frogmore Gardens in Windsor, where they will join UK Scoutmaster Dwayne Fields and members of the Scouts’ Squirrels program. Kate, who was a Scout as a child, has been co-president of the Scout Association since 2020.

Before her engagement with Kate, Melania is also planning an outing with Camilla to visit Queen Mary’s Dollhouse and the Royal Library at Windsor Castle together.

The late Queen Elizabeth hosted Donald Trump and his wife for a state visit in June 2019. Even then, the State Banquet at Buckingham Palace was attended by Kate and William. This trip by the U.S. president to the UK will go down in history, as Trump will become the first elected political leader in modern history to be invited by monarchs to two state visits to the UK.
