Topline
The White House’s official account on X posted a photo of President Donald Trump and King Charles III’s meeting in Washington on Tuesday, captioning it “ TWO KINGS ” in its latest reference to the president as a monarchal figure.
Key Facts
The post shows Trump and Charles III smiling and standing together in front of the White House, including a crown emoji alongside the “TWO KINGS” caption.
Trump gave a speech Tuesday, lauding the longtime allyship between the U.S. and U.K. as tensions with European allies have flared amid the war in Iran.
Charles gave a speech to Congress following the meeting, in which he praised the relationship between the two countries, but also praised NATO and urged support for Ukraine.
The speeches are set to be followed by a state dinner at the White House, during which both Charles and Trump are expected to give toasts amid white-tie formality, CNN reported.
Tangent
Both of Trump’s hands appeared to be covered in makeup in photos with Charles III, whose own hands appeared red and swollen during the meeting. Trump has typically just had bruising on his right hand, which he and the White House have attributed to frequent handshakes and daily aspirin use.
Key Background
Trump and his administration have compared the president to high-profile figures throughout his second term. Last year, the White House account on X posted what appeared to be an AI image of Trump wearing a crown on a spoof Time Magazine cover captioned, “LONG LIVE THE KING.” The president also said “LONG LIVE THE KING” in a post last year boasting about his efforts to block New York City’s congestion pricing program. Trump found himself in hot water this month after posting another AI photo depicting himself as Jesus Christ. The post was made around the same time Trump and Vice President JD Vance traded critical comments with Pope Leo XIV, who had recently spoken out about the war in Iran.

Imagine that.
Two distant cousins.
Like a chimpanzee and a baboon.
yikes, after seeing the royal consort's face, I really miss princess diana ...
They obviously are deliberately trying to annoy everyone. And you know what, it works.
We shouldnt have a White House that sets out to aggravate the population. There is something evil about that.
I know Trumps hands have caused some to think he is dying, but believe me, old people get spots on their arms and hands. Most of the time they are relatively harmless. Swollen ankles too. He could have congestive heart failure, sure, but that doesnt mean he is dying any time real soon. People can live up to ten years with heart failure.
Those extra large Depends are relatively harmless too, but indicative of other decline and decay...
There is no doubt he is declining, but its probably not into the countdown phase yet.
Most of the MAGAs when there is a “No Kings” rally: Uhhhh, what are y’all talking about bout? We ain’t got no king. Duh! Stoopid Librawls!
I didn't realize King Kong had man boobs
No, butt King Don does...
This one is King Con. A different giant ape.
