"If you haven't heard, the Trumps are across the pond for their second state visit with the royal family. While Trump rubbed shoulders with King Charles and Prince William, the girls (First Lady Melania Trump and Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton) stepped out for a little photo op marking their first joint engagement without their spouses. It's a VERY big deal."
"Seeing the two high-profile women in a photograph together is hard to describe. It doesn't make sense to my brain. It's like my brain wants to think it's AI, but knows it's not. What could these two possibly have to talk about? They are both former models, I guess. They are both married to future kings. (Kidding, I hope.) The women were surrounded by a bunch of 5-year-olds as well as press-all the makings of an extremely awkward interaction."
The Trumps are on a state visit to the United Kingdom, with Donald Trump meeting King Charles and Prince William. First Lady Melania Trump and Princess of Wales Kate Middleton appeared together for a joint public engagement at Frogmore Gardens. They hosted a nature-themed arts-and-crafts session for the Squirrel Scouts, the youngest chapter of the Scout Association, of which the Princess serves as Joint President. The outing marked their first joint engagement without their spouses and produced a widely noted photograph of the two women together. A humorous, imagined transcript portrays awkward small talk and joking references to fashion, body doubles, and camera scrutiny. Children around age five and numerous press members surrounded the women, amplifying perceived awkwardness and public curiosity.
