Statement

First Lady Melania Trump participated in a series of events today alongside members of the Royal Family and Lady Starmer as part of the State Visit to the United Kingdom. The day’s program highlighted creativity, community, and the well-being of children—central themes of the First Lady’s BE BEST initiative.

In Windsor, The First Lady joined Her Majesty Queen Camilla for a tour of Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House and the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. Together, they viewed historic works from the Royal Collection before meeting schoolchildren who were creating and illustrating their own miniature books. The First Lady enjoyed conversing with the children as they worked on their art projects. Each child received a gift bag that included White House honey with a commemorative tag and a challenge coin from the First Lady.

At Frogmore House & Gardens, The First Lady met with Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales and U.K. Chief Scout Dwayne Fields for an outdoor program with the Squirrel Scouts. The children took part in leaf stamping and bug house activities before receiving their “Go Wild” Badges at a ceremony attended by the First Lady and the Princess. The First Lady and the children worked together creatively and joyfully. Each Scout was presented with a gift bag including White House honey, a challenge coin, and a red, white, and blue Scouting America neckerchief. Before departing, the Scouts shared a touching note for the First Lady, thanking her for the visit and wishing her a safe flight back to the United States.

In the afternoon, The First Lady traveled to Chequers Court for a private lunch with Lady Starmer. Following lunch, they observed a display by the “Red Devils,” an elite unit of the British Army Parachute Regiment.
