President Donald Trump turned his speech into a tribute moment for Princess Kate Middleton on September 17th, 2025. The honor happened during the state banquet at Windsor Castle, where the Princess of Wales was seated to Trump’s right, wearing a golden couture gown and a sparkly tiara. The Republican head of state paused to highlight her presence, calling her “radiant, healthy, and so beautiful” during his speech. His words sparked a smile from the mother of three, all while the cameras captured the moment.
With Kate Middleton’s journey over the past year, Trump’s compliments surely reflect the sentiment of many royal followers. Back in March 2024, she revealed she was undergoing cancer treatment, stepping away from her royal duties to focus fully on her health. By September of that year, she announced her chemotherapy was complete. In January, she confirmed she was in remission and has since spoken openly about the challenges of adjusting to life after treatment.
The United States president has previously commented on the Princess’s appearance, making this the second time he has been recorded complimenting her. After arriving in the Walled Garden at Windsor Estate on September 17th, Trump wasted no time calling her “so beautiful.” He also told Prince William they had “lots to catch up with.” Following this encounter, the foursome held a private meeting at Windsor Castle; however, the themes discussed during the right-wing politician’s visit had not been disclosed.
