The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, cleverly used her handbag to send a subtle message while greeting Donald and Melania Trump at Windsor Castle.

Prince William and Kate were given the responsibility of welcoming the Trumps, who arrived in Marine One, the official aircraft of the United States Marine Corps carrying the president.

Kate greeted Mr Trump with a wide smile as they shook hands at Windsor Castle. The president reciprocated warmly, shaking hands with William and affectionately patting the future king on his right arm.
