King Charles, Trump toast ties despite Iran tensions
Britain's King Charles and Donald Trump hailed their countries' longstanding ties at a White House state dinner Tuesday -- despite the US president claiming the monarch agreed with him on Iran's nuclear weapons.
Melania Trump and Queen Camilla play supporting roles during state visit
As the United States and United Kingdom sought to bolster their “special relationship” on Tuesday in Washington, Queen Camilla and first lady Melania Trump were seen but not heard. Dressed in white ensembles, the women joined their husbands for an official welcome ceremony at the White House, where they walked a red.
