Since arriving in the UK yesterday, Donald Trump has received a royal welcome orchestrated by Charles III and Camilla.

Trump welcomed in style by Charles III

In Windsor, a solemn ceremony honored him: national anthem, official salute, inspection of the guard and military escort.

The King shared a carriage with Trump, while Camilla accompanied Melania. After an official luncheon, an exhibition on American-British ties was presented. Finally, Trump laid a wreath on Elizabeth II’s grave in St. George’s Chapel, sealing a welcome imbued with prestige and diplomatic symbolism.

But the specter of scandal linked to his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein caught up with him all the way to Windsor Castle, as compromising photos of him with Epstein resurfaced everywhere.

“Welcome to the UK, Donald.”

Trump is no exception: everywhere in the town of Windsor, from souvenir stores to the grounds near the castle, right down to the images projected directly onto its walls, he is being targeted.

The British collective “Everyone Hates Elon” set about mocking his second official visit to royalty.

A special relationship

The group’s actions included decorative plates depicting Trump alongside Epstein, accompanied by the inscription “a special relationship”, as well as a dog toy featuring the American president sold in a local store.

A truck equipped with a giant screen showing a photo of Trump next to Epstein, taken at Mar-a-Lago in 1997, also drove through the streets of Windsor with the message “Welcome to the UK, Donald.”

A huge poster showing Trump and Epstein was also deployed on a field near Windsor Castle, while a giant projection of their photo illuminated the castle’s very walls.

U.S. influence

A spokesman for the “Everyone Hates Elon” collective actually commented on their actions, reported by The Daily Beast.

He declared that they were fed up with the influence of the US on the UK, whether it’s billionaires like Elon Musk or Donald Trump.

Authorities arrested four people after Trump’s embarrassing image was projected onto Windsor Castle.

His first visit to Windsor in 2018

On his first visit to Windsor in 2018, Donald Trump was received by Queen Elizabeth II in a high-profile official meeting.

After a military ceremony and the national anthem, he inspected the guard of honor alongside the sovereign. But the visit sparked widespread criticism in the UK, with massive protests in London, satirical balloons caricaturing him as “baby Trump” and controversy over his attitude towards the Queen, which was deemed disrespectful, particularly when he walked in front of her. This episode marked a controversial stage in U.S.-British relations.

Trump’s state visit to Britain was crashed by pictures of the president with friend Jeffrey Epstein.
