Melania Trump was caught in a brief but heavily dissected moment with Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, 28 April, when cameras appeared to show the first lady pulling her hand away from the president as they welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla ahead of a state dinner. The clip, filmed in Washington during the royal visit, has since gone viral, with viewers arguing over whether Melania was brushing off her husband or simply repositioning herself for the cameras.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are in the United States on a state visit that has included a speech to Congress, a reading by the Queen at the New York Public Library and a formal dinner at the White House. Before that dinner, the Trumps and the royal couple gathered for ceremonial photographs outside the building, a routine moment that quickly turned into another online debate over the first couple's body language.
