President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, attracted attention with her hilarious comment during King Charles’ royal visit.
The first lady joked about giving extra jars of honey to the British monarch and his wife, Queen Camilla, during their visit to Melania’s White House.
The royal couple ended their four-day visit to the United States on Thursday with a formal farewell from Trump and Melania Trump. While the House honey quickly became a sweet part of the royal visit as Charles and Camilla – both long-time supporters of beekeeping.
Camilla and Charles were in good spirits as they toured the White House hives with their American friends.
During the visit, Melania teased the royals about their craving for honey.
It happened after Assistant Pastry Chef at the White House, Carlo Figarella, announced that everyone in attendance would go home the next day with one of these little jars of honey.
“We put in extra for your majesties, yes?” joked the first lady.
She joked with her British friends, adding: “Because they love honey.”
The royal dignitaries responded with a smile. The honey was not only given as gifts to guests, but was also featured in dishes served at Tuesday night’s state dinner.
The multi-course meal, held in the East Hall and attended by around 130 guests, including business leaders, legislators and media figures, featured seasonal produce and garden-inspired dishes.
It should be mentioned here that the British monarch keeps beehives in his private residence in England, and Queen Camilla supports global efforts to preserve bees.
