First lady Melania Trump and Queen Camilla met Tuesday at the White House to express a shared commitment to improving children’s well-being.
The two married women joined students in technology-related activities and history at the White House Tennis Pavilion this afternoon.
The Queen and King of the UK are in the US for a four-day visit full of various events and private meetings, including the president, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and others. Tuesday’s event underscored the shared importance of strengthening children’s development, with Trump’s “Be Best” and “Fostering the Future” initiatives and Camilla’s longtime focus on literacy driving the effort.

Camilla and the first lady joined district students, including several state champions from the Presidential AI Challenge, to explore and use virtual reality (VR) headsets to learn about American and United Kingdom history.
Trump wore a white silk and fur jacket and skirt from the Ralph Lauren Collection, according to pool reports. She also wore an Eric Javits hat with snakeskin pumps by Manolo Blahnik.
The VR glasses gave students the opportunity to view famous landmarks in the UK, such as Snowdonia, the Giant’s Causeway, Stonehenge, and the outside of Buckingham Palace. Students also examined artifacts using Meta mirrors provided by the White House Collection and the National Archives and Records Administration to learn more about the special relationship between the two countries.
