King greets Trump for U.K. state visit under shadow of Epstein scandal

President Trump and the first lady Melania joined King Charles III, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales in a carriage procession to Windsor Castle.

The carriages will take the group through the Windsor estate. The first carriage will carry Mr. Trump and King Charles. The second will carry the first lady and Queen Camilla.

In the third carriage, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel with Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

A fourth carriage will transport other officials on Mr. Trump and the first lady’s teams.

As the procession began, the national anthems of both the U.S. and the U.K. were played by British military bands.

The route is lined by British military forces.
