How the British royal family is buttering up Trump with dazzling pomp and circumstance on his historic state visit

Trump’s getting the royal treatment again.

Britain is rolling out the red carpet to charm and dazzle President Donald Trump on his historic second state visit — with a grand show of pomp and pageantry.

From a 1,300-soldier-strong military ceremony — complete with a time-honored 41 gun salute — to a glittering white-tie banquet, the country is working to court America’s president as a host of international crises simmer.

Here are some of the most spectacular special traditions expected during Trump’s two-day visit.

Off with a bang ( or 41)

As Trump and King Charles III met and shook hands in the Windsor Castle garden, a 41-gun salute was fired off from six World War One-era guns on the castle’s east lawn — which is an honor Trump didn’t get during his last visit 2019.

The high-caliber greeting is meant to mark only the most special of occasions, such as the King’s Official Birthday or Accession Day. 

The gunfire rang out to the sound of both nations’ national anthems, and symbolic shots were also fired near the Tower of London, in the center of the capital. There were no reports of Trump getting the special gun salute during his 2019 state visit.

The last non-royal public figure to get a 41-round gun salute, was during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit from the Tower of London in July.

All the king’s horses

A total of 1,300 members of the military and 120 horses were featured in a spectacular ceremony to welcome Trump, which UK officials said was the largest procession marking a state visit in recent history.

The welcome was larger than when Queen Elizabeth II previously hosted Trump in his first term, which featured a welcoming ceremony at Buckingham Palace and formal tea with then-Prince Charles.

Carriage procession

Trump and King Charles then rode by horse-drawn carriage in a procession through the Windsor estate towards the nearly 1,000-year-old castle surrounded by members of the military.

They traveled in the Irish State Coach, followed by Queen Camilla and First Lady Melania, who rode  in the Scottish State Coach. Prince William and Catherine also rode behind them.

The symbolic event was meant to showcase the grandeur history of the crown and serve as a way for regular folks to get a close-up look at the royals and their important guests. During Trump’s 2019 state visit, the carriage procession was reportedly cancelled due to security concerns.

Colors in the sky

In a brilliant symbolic display, Trump also received the first ever “joint flypast” by both US and UK fighter jets, which filled the sky with red, white and blue smoke.

The ceremony featured the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows display team in their F-35 jets along with a US in the same aircraft.

Special appearance by royal band

The British marching band triumphantly blared the soundtrack during the military ceremony, complete with the army’s top percussion and woodwind musicians. The royal Marines Band from Portsmouth, the band of the Scots Guards, and the Royal Air Force band were also featured.

White tie banquet

Trump and King Charles will wrap up Wednesday with a glittering white-tie state banquet, where they are both expected to make speeches. 

The men are expected to wear formal black tailcoats with white bow ties and waistcoats at the multi-course dinner, which will be attended by roughly 150 guests at a 50-yard long table inside stately St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle.

Tradition holds that the king will make a speech and propose a toast to Trump, who will reply and propose a toast in response. A royal cocktail will be specially crafted for the event, though the famously teetotaling Trump will likely not imbibe.

A string orchestra will play music, and the end of the banquet will be signaled by 12 pipers processing through the hall, which was first built in 1353, and is decorated with the coats of arms of each Knight of the Garter since then, according the royal website.
