King Charles, Trump's Awkward Welcome

0:00On April 28th, King Charles, the 77-year-old monarch, started his big-state visit to the United States with a welcome from President Trump. Who's 79? On the White House South Lawn, this past Monday, April 17th. Queen Camilla, 78, and Melania Trump, 56, were right there too. But the greeting got awkward fast when Trump dove into some scatter talk. Insiders say Trump kicked things off by mentioning a recent shooting attempt on himself, then flipped to world leaders in war risks, without much. Flow, lip readers caught him checking if the king was good, saying he felt more ready now, before jumping topics again. Charles pushed back gently, saying they talk heavy stuff later, to keep it light. Sources close to the royals noted real discomfort, calling the chat disjointed and hard to follow, like it lacked any real structure. AIDS later shared worries about the president's mental sharpness behind closed doors. Still, the group moved on to tea in the green room, and a stroll through the White House grounds, checking out that beehive by Michelle Obama's old, kitchen garden.

1:05The day wrapped with a garden party at the British ambassador's spot on Embassy Row, setting up Tuesday's formal ceremony and state dinner. Whispers about health keep buzzing, but the visit pushes forward, smooth enough. That's your update from entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
