President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania visited London this week for their second state visit


A body language expert commented on the encounter between President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.


On Tuesday evening (September 16), Trump and Melania arrived at London's Stansted Airport for their two-day state visit.


They stayed at Winfield House in Regent's Park before heading to Windsor Castle for a busy schedule of events, culminating in a state banquet on Wednesday evening (September 17).


When Trump and the First Lady arrived at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, they were welcomed by the Prince and Princess of Wales as they disembarked from Marine One.


They then proceeded across the grounds of Windsor Castle, where King Charles and the Queen were prepared to greet them at the royal residence.


As the group got to know each other, Kate, Camilla, and Melania were seen chatting.


However, there was a particular moment when Melania seemed somewhat 'tense'.


Body language expert and celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman shared with UNILAD: "There’s a photo showing Melania from behind as she talks with Princess Catherine, with Camilla between them - it’s a fantastic picture."


"During the gathering, Queen Camilla seems the most at ease among the three women, as her feet are positioned slightly apart, unlike Catherine and Melania, whose feet are close together."


"Standing with feet apart suggests a willingness to occupy more space, indicating contentment. The hands reveal further insights."


"Although Kate, Camilla, and Melania all display neutral, calm smiles, their hand positions differ significantly."


"Kate holds her hands in front of her in a potentially protective manner, but her fingers are spread wide, indicating she feels comfortable in the situation."

Inbaal, representing OLBG, noted: "Melania’s hand is noticeably clenched into a fist, indicating she might feel uneasy or somewhat tense during that conversation."


The President and First Lady have a packed agenda while in the UK, but the president has already been accused of 'breaking protocol' following his meeting with the King.


In a widely shared moment, Trump was seen walking ahead of the King, casually talking to one of the guards.


However, royal protocol dictates that individuals should walk behind King Charles. Within the Royal Family, they follow the King according to their rank and the line of succession.


Trump and Melania are in the UK until Thursday evening (September 18), during which they will not participate in any public events as security remains a top priority for the president.
