Donald Trump’s state banquet speech in London has sparked online debate after royal watchers spotted what they say was a subtle omission. With King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate in attendance, the former president praised the U.S.–UK alliance — but left out a key name that drew attention.
Trump began by celebrating the “special bond” between the two nations before turning to personal compliments. He praised Prince William as “remarkable” and credited King Charles for raising “such an amazing son.” The words drew polite smiles, but many noticed that Prince Harry was never mentioned.
For royal fans, the silence spoke volumes. Social media users quickly suggested the omission was intentional, a quiet snub delivered in front of cameras. One viewer wrote, “His smile definitely dropped,” referring to the King’s expression during the remarks.
Clips of the moment spread widely online. Some claimed the King looked uneasy, while others criticized Trump directly: “Do your homework. He has two sons, not one.” The debate highlighted Harry’s strained relationship with both the monarchy and public opinion.
