King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s historic state visit to the U.S. began with a notable encounter with former President Donald Trump, who issued a cryptic warning about a potential threat.

Royal Visit Begins with Tense Exchange

King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived at the White House on Monday, commencing their state visit to the United States. The visit was immediately marked by a tense exchange between the British monarch and former President Donald Trump.

Trump’s Ominous Warning

According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, Trump appeared to warn the king about a potential threat, stating, 'This shooting…' before adding, 'I’ve got a feeling … if he did what he said, he will wipe out the population.' He then pointed out the White House’s vulnerability, saying, 'You can see right through there. Right the way through to the ballroom. Would you like to see?'

The royal couple, seemingly unfazed, followed President and First Lady Biden into the White House after King Charles asked, 'Which way do we go? '

Garden Party and Royal Interests

The visit continued with a grand garden party at the British ambassador’s residence, attended by prominent figures including House Speaker Mike Johnson, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senator Ted Cruz.

A Shared Hobby

British Olympic diver Tom Daley, who traveled from Los Angeles, shared a lighthearted moment with the king over their mutual interest in knitting. Daley explained that knitting serves as his creative outlet and a form of mindfulness, adding that the king had tried knitting as a child and might reconsider the hobby for its mental health benefits.

Upcoming Events and Ongoing Controversies

The four-day state visit includes several high-profile events, such as King Charles’ address to a joint meeting of Congress on Tuesday, followed by a lavish state dinner at the White House.

Celebrity Headlines

Meanwhile, the visit has been accompanied by controversy, including Jimmy Kimmel’s repeated joke about Melania Trump during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which has sparked calls for his firing. Additionally, Megan Thee Stallion has made headlines with a surprising career move following her split from Klay Thompson, and Netflix has released 'Straight to Hell,' a drama exploring the rise of Japan’s most famous fortune teller.
