Speaking to the 160 guests yesterday (17 September), he said: “His Majesty has also raised a remarkable son in His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales. Really amazing.
“We’ve gotten to know you and I think you’re going to have an unbelievable success in future.”
He added: “Melania and I are delighted to visit again with Prince William and to see Her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy, and so beautiful. It’s really a great honour, thank you.”
Trump was seated next to the Princess of Wales for the banquet, with Melania, Camilla, and William sitting opposite them.
And eagle-eyed social media users have picked up on one moment of footage from the event, that took place during the luxurious meal.
In the video, Camilla appears to be speaking to the First Lady, however, Melania seemingly snubs her by not responding and instead chatting to the Prince of Wales next to her.
Reacting to the moment, which has since been shared on TikTok, one user wrote: “Melania Ignoring her just like she does with Trump,” alongside laughing emojis.
A second said: “I don’t care who you are, sure some respect to other human beings, it doesn’t matter if you can’t stand them at least be civil-friendly and cheerful, there’s nobody perfect in this world just be kind to everybody.”
While a third added: “Poor Camila, she’s talking to herself.”
And someone else chimed in with: “You imagine they wouldn’t have much to talk about.”
However, others have rushed to defend Melania, pointing out that Camilla could have also been talking to William, who was out of camera view.
“They are both obviously talking to the person next to Camilla,” one person commented.
A second noted: “Prince William is on the other side of her.”
Somebody else penned: “Melania was not ignoring Queen Camilla; she was talking to Prince William.”
Another agreed: “She is talking to someone else, in case you didn’t notice.”
And a final user pointed out: “People so mean… it’s not ignoring, Melania and Camilla are just talking to another person who is sitting next to Melania.”
