Just minutes after arriving at Windsor Castle for her second state visit to the UK, Melania Trump reportedly shared a heartfelt admission with the Princess of Wales.
Stepping off the Marine One helicopter alongside her husband, US President Donald Trump, the 55-year-old was warmly welcomed by Prince William and Kate Middleton on Tuesday (17 September).
The meeting between the First Lady and Princess Kate had been highly anticipated, with many observers eager to see the two women together, both often praised for their fashion sense.
Official photographs captured their smiles as they shook hands, while videos later showed the Waleses escorting the Trumps through the castle gardens, where they were joined by King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The six were seen engaging in light conversation.
The Lip Reader’s Claim
One of these clips has since drawn attention after professional lip reader Nicola Hickling analyzed it, suggesting Melania made a surprisingly emotional remark.
Speaking to Tyla on behalf of Betfair Casino, Hickling claimed Kate initiated the exchange by commenting: “Your Macintosh is the same one I have, I wear it each time I fly.”
Melania allegedly responded warmly: “I know, it’s exceptional and such a comfort. Sometimes I wear it to the house.”
According to Hickling, the First Lady then admitted: “Sometimes when I come, I don’t want to go back,” a comment interpreted as a sign of her fondness for the UK, and perhaps unease about the US.
A Backdrop of Violence
Although Hickling did not directly connect Melania’s words to recent events, her supposed confession comes just a week after the assassination of her husband’s ally, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
