Princess Kate has been dubbed the Royal Family's "secret weapon" as Donald Trump was hosted by the monarchy's "soft power" during his unprecedented second State Visit.
Discussing the US President's relationship with the royals, the Princess of Wales was praised for her rapport with the American leader at the State Banquet.
During his speech to King Charles and the Royal Family, President Trump thanked the monarch for bestowing on him "one of the highest honours of my life".
He told the State Banquet guests: "It is a singular privilege to be the first American President welcomed here for a second state visit, that's a first and maybe it will be the last time. I hope it is actually."

Reacting to the State Banquet, GB News host Ellie Costello heaped praise on the Princess of Wales, claiming that the Royal Family "know she can be trusted" around the President.
Ellie told the GB News panel: "It looks as though the Princess of Wales was the secret weapon last night.
"The photos of the Princess of Wales and President Donald Trump just staring and admiring each other, big smiles, they are fantastic photos."
Agreeing with Ellie, Editor-at-Large at the Mail on Sunday Charlotte Griffiths added: "Her expression is amazing, it's almost like she sort of gets the Donald Trump joke and she's here for it, and she's kind of going along and having a little humour about it all."

"But also he would be offended if he wasn't next to the most beautiful person in the room, apart from Melania of course."
Praising the Royal Family's demonstration of "soft power" with the President, broadcaster Tim Vincent told GB News: "This is the symbol of the royals being used for such a great effect, isn't it?
"The royals get knocked all the time about all kinds of things, but look at how it's brought everybody together."

Taking aim at Sir Keir Starmer, Mr Vincent said that the Prime Minister was "left out" of the top table while the royals "stepped up to the plate".
He stated: "And Keir Starmer isn't on that that table eating the banquet and having the quails eggs. He's been left out of that deliberately, and the royals have stepped up to the plate, and good for them for doing that.
"You can't criticise our country for doing pomp and ceremony. Funerals, births, weddings, everybody tunes in."
Ms Griffiths added: "Especially Donald Trump, he's just such an Anglophile."
Host Stephen Dixon then concluded: "We talk a lot about soft power, but it is that soft power and it's influence, isn't it? Who wouldn't be influenced by being invited to a fancy dinner with the Royal Family? You just would be swept off your feet."
