Several photos and videos of the meeting of the two couples have since gone viral online.
Lip reader decodes Melania Trump’s reaction to King Charles’ US visit
Melania Trump and Donald Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla at the White House during the royals’ U.S. visit. On Monday, the royal couple arrived in Washington, D.C. A video of the two meeting the president and first lady went viral. Meanwhile, lip reader Jeremy Freeman told the Mirror about Melania’s reaction to the king’s visit.
In the clip, Charles shook hands with Donald, who warmly welcomed him. Melania was standing beside her husband and was all smiles while greeting the royal members. She first greeted Camilla with cheek kisses. Then, the queen shook the president’s hand, while the king accepted Melania’s welcome.
The former model greeted Charles by shaking hands and kissing both cheeks. According to Freeman, the king seemingly said, “Oh, it’s so nice to see you.” To this, the first lady responded, “So pleased to see you.” Furthermore, Melania expressed her genuine reaction to his visit as she said, “I’m really delighted.”
Meanwhile, Donald grabbed the attention of royal critics for allegedly breaking royal protocol. After greeting Charles, he appeared to have tapped on the monarch’s shoulder lightly to guide him inside the White House. The touch has reportedly breached a rule that nobody should initiate physical contact with a royal member.
However, a body language expert, Judi James, told the Daily Mail that the action allegedly looked more like a “political gesture.” “It was also the first real gesture of active, ‘special’ friendship here from a rather more subdued Trump than the very effusive rituals we saw during their last meeting,” she added.
