Donald Trump’s UK state visit marked by major change in Windsor protocol
President Donald Trump has arrived in Windsor, U.K., for his unprecedented second state visit along with First Lady Melania Trump.
Donald and Melani will be in the U.K. from 17 September through 18 September. However, the entire state visit will be conducted within the grounds of Windsor estate due to security fears.
To protect the U.S. President and his wife, security has been heightened in Windsor with a strong police presence and a 7-foot fence erected around the estate.
The couple was greeted by the Prince and Princess of Wales upon landing in Windsor and then officially welcomed by the King and Queen. They then accompanied the royals to Windsor Castle in horse-drawn carriages, accompanied by a sovereign’s escort of 80 mounted soldiers.
Trump was also presented with a 120-strong guard of honour and a display by the Red Arrows. This prompted Trump to smile and pat the King on the arm twice.
The couple has now arrived at the East Lawn at Windsor Castle. There, they witnessed a parade of Massed Bands of the Royal Marines, the Coldstream Guards, and the Royal Air Force, with the Old Guard Fifes and Drums from the US Army Band.
They will also watch the Beating Retreat military ceremony, which will be concluded with a display by the Red Arrows.

‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ gives exciting update on second part
A sequel to Netflix‘s hit animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters has reportedly been confirmed, and has gotten a release date.
As per Deadline, K-Pop Demon Hunters has been officially been greenlit by Netflix and Sony, just months after the hit film’s release.
While details remain scarce, the report indicates that K-Pop Demon Hunters 2 is slated to release sometime in 2029.
Additionally, creator-director Maggie Kang and co-director Chris Appelhans are set to return for the second installment.
Plans for an animated sequel were being discussed as early as August 28, just days after the original film’s release.
Released on August 23, the Netflix movie tells the story of a group of internationally renowned K-Pop idols who lead a double life as demon hunters.
K-Pop Demon Hunters almost immediately became the most watched film in Netflix history, and its success was bolstered by sing-along screenings held in cinemas, reportedly grossing around $20million in a single weekend.
Following the success of the film, rumours began circulating that a live-action remake is being considered however, creator and director of the film, Maggie Kang, told the BBC she doesn’t like that idea.
“There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation,” she said, adding, “It’s really hard to imagine these characters in a live-action world. It would feel too grounded. So totally it wouldn’t work for me.”
Co-director Chris Appelhans agreed, saying, “One of the great things about animation is that you make these composites of impossibly great attributes. Rumi can be this goofy comedian and then singing and doing a spinning back-kick a second later and then freefalling through the sky. The joy of animation is how far you can push and elevate what’s possible. I remember they adapted a lot of different anime and often times, it just feels a little stilted.”

Meghan Markle returns to acting in star-studded film: details inside
Meghan Markle is making an acting comeback a decade after stepping away from Hollywood to become a royal.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was seen filming on Wednesday in Pasadena, California, for Close Personal Friends, an upcoming Amazon MGM Studios comedy starring Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding.
Meghan will reportedly play herself. “She has a small part and seemed very relaxed and happy,” a production insider told People. “She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth.”
The project marks Meghan’s first acting role since leaving Suits in 2017, shortly before her engagement to Prince Harry.
According to a studio source quoted by The Sun, this appearance is “her way of gently putting her toe back in the water” after years away from Hollywood.
“It’s a massive moment for her and a return to doing what she truly loves,” the source added. “Everyone involved has been sworn to secrecy about her part.”
Prince Harry, 41, is said to be “really supportive” of his wife’s return to acting and “wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy.”
Close Personal Friends follows a couple who befriend a celebrity pair while vacationing in Santa Barbara—appearing reminiscent of Meghan and Prince Harry’s life in nearby Montecito since leaving royal life in 2020. They share two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
Meghan first met Harry in 2016 while starring on Suits and married him two years later in a royal ceremony. In her 2017 engagement interview, Meghan announced her exit from Hollywood.

Prince Harry is ‘letting Meghan know’ nothing can compare to UK
Prince Harry is showcasing his embarrassment as he recalls time in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex admits he misses life as a British soldier despite all the love he has received in America.
Speaking about his latest essay ahead of Remembrance Day, communications expert Judi James said: “He sounds embarrassed by this ‘reveal’ though. By adding ‘ridiculous as it sounds’, he seems to be apologising to his US audience, perhaps even to his own family, for this admission of nostalgia and what sounds like a sense of longing.”
“This is an important-sounding admission too. Most ex-pats yearn for jars of Marmite or English tea bags, but Harry is letting everyone know, including Meghan here, that he’s missing a kind of shared, intense, complex humour that he might not be able to get in the US,” she notes.
Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
