William’s Trump Icebreaker, Trump’s Makeup Mystery, and where did you think Anne was?

Prince William lightened the mood at Trump’s Windsor arrival with the quip, “This is my dad,” before a lavish state banquet filled with s’more-inspired cocktails, tiaras, and a 52-yard table.

Observers spotted makeup covering bruises on his hand, prompting questions after the Royal Family posted an unedited photo. Princess Anne was absent from the Trump pageantry—naturally, she was busy working in Scotland. And one columnist summed it up: Trump desperately wants to be British, but only Melania might actually pass the test.
