During his second UK state visit, former U.S. President Donald Trump attended a royal state banquet where he was seated beside Princess Kate Middleton.
The moment drew public attention after body language expert Bruce Durham analyzed their interaction. He suggested Kate exuded confidence and poise, at times looking at Trump as if gently challenging him.
Uncharacteristically, Trump appeared deferential, with raised shoulders and a retracted head—signs Durham interpreted as submission. The expert argued Kate subtly held the upper hand. Trump, however, praised the Princess of Wales as “radiant,” “healthy,” and “beautiful,” calling it an honor to sit beside her. His trip also included meetings with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, unveiling a new tech and investment partnership.
