TikTok clip sparks mixed reactions during Trumps’ visit
Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived in the United Kingdom on
September 16 for their second official state visit. The couple was welcomed by
Prince William and Catherine before being received by King Charles and Queen
Camilla. Over two days, they attended a series of official engagements,
including a grand state banquet.
It was during that banquet that Melania became the focus of social media
attention. A TikTok video, now viewed more than two million times, shows Queen
Camilla appearing to speak to the First Lady. Instead of responding, Melania
looks away and seems to engage in conversation with Prince William.
The moment quickly divided opinion online. “She is the Queen Consort who is
the host. That’s rude of her,” one commenter wrote. Another said, “She has no
class and is dressed so inappropriately.” A third added, “Poor Camilla, she’s
talking to herself.”
Others defended Melania, suggesting the clip was taken out of context. “She
wasn’t ignoring Queen Camilla, she was just engaged in a conversation with
somebody else,” one user argued. Another added, “They were both simply
speaking to different people at the table. People are overreacting.”
The viral clip has sparked debate, with some calling Melania’s behaviour
disrespectful while others see it as an innocent misunderstanding.
