Melania Trump and Queen Camilla’s Viral Banquet Moment Sparks Debate

Footage from last night’s state banquet in the UK featuring Melania Trump and Queen Camilla has gone viral, dividing social media users.

Donald Trump and the First Lady were in London for a two-day visit, spending time with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate. During his speech, Trump praised the royals, calling Prince William “remarkable” and describing Princess Catherine as “radiant and beautiful.”

But it was a brief exchange at the banquet table that captured global attention. In the clip, Camilla appears to address Melania, but the former First Lady doesn’t respond, instead turning to speak with Prince William beside her.

The moment ignited debate online. Critics accused Melania of “snubbing” Camilla, while one TikTok user wrote, “Poor Camilla, she’s talking to herself.” Others, however, defended her, insisting she was simply engaged in another conversation. As one commenter put it: “She wasn’t ignoring her—she was talking to William.”

The incident shows how even subtle gestures at royal events can spark viral headlines.
