NBC News reported more details on Trump’s royal visit:

President Donald Trump was granted a royal welcome like no other on Wednesday, greeted by King Charles III and senior royals at Windsor Castle for his unprecedented second state visit.

The U.K.’s largest military ceremony for a visiting foreign leader in living memory saw 1,300 military personnel, 120 horses, and the full weight of Britain’s ceremonial traditions brought out to welcome the American president.

Outside the castle walls, protesters gathered in London to make clear their opposition to Trump’s arrival. But inside there was nothing but pomp and pageantry as the ancient fortress transformed into a stage for royal ceremony.

While big business and political issues were being discussed and negotiated during his trip, including a multi-billion dollar technology deal and the war in Ukraine, royal spectacle dominated the day.

BBC reported on the gifts Trump exchanged with the royal family:

US President Donald Trump has received a lavish ceremonial welcome from King Charles and senior royals in Windsor, on the first full day of his state visit to the UK.

The president and First Lady Melania Trump stepped out of ornate carriages inside the castle’s scenic quadrangle, before an inspection of troops on perfectly-prepared lawns.
Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales were also there to welcome the US visitors, as a band played the Stars and Stripes.

Trump has come to the UK for a historic second state visit, which will involve a crowded mix of royal pageantry, trade talks and international politics.

And official gifts were exchanged:

President Trump was given a leather volume celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US declaration of independence and the flag that was flying over Buckingham Palace on the day of Trump’s inauguration in January 2025.

Melania Trump was given an Anya Hindmarch handbag and a silver bowl made by Northern Irish artist, Cara Murphy.

The King was given a symbolic reminder of the military alliance between the UK and US, with a replica of President Eisenhower’s sword.

For Queen Camilla, there was the gift of a Tiffany gold, diamond and ruby brooch.
