Melania Trump revealed her true feelings about the Princess of Wales with a telling five-word remark during the extraordinary state visit.
Melania and her husband Donald Trump spent two days and three nights in Britain before returning to America.
The President and First Lady were welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle where they were the guests of honour at a state banquet.
President Trump then travelled to Chequers for talks with Prime Minister Keir Starmer whilst Melania remained in Windsor for some joint engagements with Camilla and Catherine.
The First Lady was escorted to the grounds of Frogmore House for an excursion with Princess Catherine where she participated in a series of activities with young Scouts, reports the Express.
It was there that Melania demonstrated her regard for the future queen consort when one of the Scouts enquired whether she was going to be the “next princess”.
Melania reportedly smiled and gestured to Catherine: “She’s the only princess here.”
Donald Trump is the first ever US president to be granted two state visits to Britain.
His first was in 2019 during his initial term in the White House when Queen Elizabeth II was still alive and Theresa May was the Prime Minister.
Mr Trump made his own sentiments clear with an off-mic remark that revealed how he felt about King Charles. During their trip, the Trumps attended a state banquet alongside senior members of the Royal Family at St George’s Hall.
Before the speeches, Donald Trump, 79, was seen chatting with the King.
Lip-reader Jeremy Freeman claims that one moment between the pair away from the microphones showed Trump’s admiration for the 76 year old monarch. The President was spotted telling the King: “It’s so incredible, it’s what you do so well.”

In his speech at the banquet, Mr. Trump described being welcomed back for a second state visit as the “highest honour” of his life.
The President also praised the so-called “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States. He said that phrase “does not begin to do it justice“.
Since returning to the USA, Mr. Trump has spoken highly of the hospitality put on by the Royal Family and the UK during the visit.
Speaking to reporters in Washington DC, he called King Charles “a wonderful guy”. The President also said he had seen “more paintings than any human being has ever seen” during his tour. He added: “I got to a know him (Charles) very well. I knew him before, but now I know him a little better.”
“I knew Charles as a prince and now I know him as a king and he’s doing very well. They treated us great.”
“They treated our country great. I view that as being really respect for our country, the way they did it, because last night was beautiful.”
Mr. Trump continued to say that his wife Melania had a lovely time with the Duchess of Cambridge, describing Prince William’s wife as “a very wonderful person“.
