Royals welcome Trump to Windsor for US president's historic second state visit
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The Prince and Princess of Wales also formed part of the royal charm offensive at Windsor Castle for the president, who has made no secret of how flattered he is by having traditional British pomp laid on for him. Mr Trump was treated to a gilded horse-drawn carriage ride through the vast Windsor estate and joined the King in inspecting honour guards."
"Officials said 1,300 members of the military took part in the largest formal welcome for a state visit to the UK in living memory.

The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech through on-the-ground journalism and investigative reporting. Investigations include the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', which highlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent does not use paywalls and relies on donations to fund reporting that is available to Americans across the political spectrum. The UK rolled out extensive pageantry for Donald Trump's second state visit, with the King and Queen welcoming him and the Prince and Princess of Wales taking part at Windsor Castle. The president rode in a gilded carriage, inspected honour guards with the King, and officials said 1,300 military personnel participated in the largest formal welcome in living memory. Mr Trump arrived 20 minutes late when his Marine One helicopter, fitted with missile defence and radar jamming systems, landed in the castle grounds at 12.14pm. The pageantry preceded crucial talks for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
