Nicola has told Metro how she thinks the exchanges went down.

After Melania and Kate greet each other, the group begin walking over towards where the King and Queen.

En route, Donald Trump asks Prince Willian: ‘How are the children?’

Prince William: ‘They’re well and at school.’

Trump: ‘Well, blow me.’

Prince William: ‘The new term started a couple of weeks ago.’

Trump: ‘It’s been a while since you chatted with me.’

Prince William, speaking to Kate, said: ‘He has missed our little chats.’

Breaking the ice

The president and first lady shook hands with King Charles and Queen Camilla, with Trump telling the Monarch: ‘How are you doing, it’s a pleasure, Your Majesty. Thank you for inviting me.’

King Charles then joked to Melania: ‘I do hope the wind doesn’t blow away your hat.’

This got a large laugh from the former model, who goes on to shake Camilla’s hand.

The King then introduced the guests to his aides before the Princess of Wales approaches the first lady and starts talking about fashion.

According to the lipreader, Kate told her: ‘Your Mackintosh is the same one I am flying, I wear it each time.’

Melania: ‘I know, it’s exceptional and such a comfort. Sometimes I wear it to the house. Sometimes when I come I don’t want to go back.’

The first lady added: ‘Tell me, how are the children?’

Kate: ‘Very well, they’re back at school now so it’s back to a good routine.’

While Kate and Melania were talking about their coats, Trump was speaking ominously about what he plans to tell an unnamed individual.

Donald could be seen telling Charles: ‘I am trying to prove it, but it’s still a little rough, we go back a long way.

‘The difficulty of it is that they are opening it back up with this in an era.

‘I’ll say you need to listen, it was in a time where I was playing. If you want to learn, you gotta listen.’

Donald then tapped William’s arm, adding warmly: ‘You look fantastic.’

Turning back to Charles, Trump said: ‘I know, this is what you and I hope for. This is so beautiful. The carriages are beautiful.’
