President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump went to a fancy dinner at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. This was the first night of Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom. King Charles III welcomed them and said the U.S. and Britain are close friends. The dinner was in St. George’s Hall. The table was very long—over 150 feet—and had 160 people. Guests included business leaders, government workers, and royal family members. There were 1,400 forks, knives, and spoons, 139 candles, and more than 100 staff serving food.

King Charles talked about history, defense, and world problems like helping Ukraine and protecting the environment. He said the U.S. and Britain fought together in two World Wars and still work closely as allies today.

President Trump talked about Britain’s history and famous writers. He praised King Charles for helping poor people and caring for the environment. Trump said going to dinner was a big honor because it showed the deep friendship between the United States and Britain. The dinner was held to celebrate that relationship, highlight their shared history, and strengthen ties on defense and trade.

Some important guests were Apple CEO Tim Cook, MI6 chief Richard Moore, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and financier Stephen Schwarzman. White House aides sat with lords and ladies from Britain, showing how business, intelligence, and government leaders from both countries came together.

For the United States and Britain, this dinner meant more than fancy food. It was a symbol of partnership and trust between the two nations. It showed that even with protests outside and disagreements in politics, both sides wanted to stand together as close allies.

Thousands of people protested Trump’s visit outside the castle, and security was very tight. Inside, the dinner menu included Panna Cotta, Organic Chicken, and Vanilla Ice Cream Bombe. There was also a special drink called the “Transatlantic Whisky Sour,” meant to represent the two nations, but Trump does not drink alcohol.
