One of the highlights of Donald Trump and Melania Trump’s UK state visit was surely the royal banquet. The president, a long-time royal fan, got to give a speech, and even had the future queen, Kate Middleton, to his right at the table. But did Trump understand that it wasn’t the Queen? Well, some Royal Fans believe that was the case.
Donald Trump has always been a huge fan of the Royal Family. As he stepped down in the UK last week, he became the first president in history to receive a second state visit. This time, he was welcomed by King Charles, and on Wednesday night, he was honored to attend a state banquet.

But it didn’t go through without some controversy. First, Melania Trump was criticized for what she was wearing, and then, a body language expert concluded that Kate Middleton, who was sitting next to Donald, possibly set him straight.

Look how regal she looks, how straight she looks – and [she’s] looking at Donald Trump like a childish, impish-type comment has been made,” Durham told the Mirror.

He added: “This is important because when is Donald Trump never the alpha? So there is something going on here in that either Kate has an effect on him, or there is a narrative in his head which results in him raising his shoulders, retracting his head, with Kate the alpha, Donald the beta.”

Did Donald Trump confuse Kate Middleton with Queen Camilla?
Donald also showered Kate with praise during the state visit. It was the Princess of Wales and Prince William who first greeted the President and First Lady of the United States as they stepped out of Marine One to meet the Royal Family.

Trump disembarked Marine One and walked up to greet William first, and then Kate. According to Jeremy Freeman, the President of the United States told the Princess of Wales, “You’re so beautiful, so,” per Mirror.

During his speech at the state banquet, Trump continued to praise Kate, saying, “To see Her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy, and so beautiful. It’s really a great honour, thank you.
