Shocking Windsor Castle protest explained.
Four people were arrested in the UK after shocking projections lit up Windsor Castle.
Accommodation and state visit plans clarified.
According to The Independent, the president and First Lady will stay overnight at Winfield House, the US Ambassador’s official residence in Regent’s Park.
On Wednesday, Trump is scheduled for a state banquet at Windsor Castle, though he will avoid public appearances.
Instead, the focus of this visit will reportedly be trade discussions between the US and the UK.
Trump commented, “Basically, I’m there also on trade. They want to see if they can refine the trade deal a little bit.”
“We made a deal, and it’s a great deal. I’m into helping them,” he added.
“They’d like to see if they could get a little bit better deal, so we’ll talk to them,” Trump concluded.
Trump’s arrival detailed.
The images appeared as President Trump and First Lady Melania touched down in London for his second state visit.
Trump’s arrival on Tuesday night (16 September) marked another headline-grabbing moment for a trip already full of drama.
The president is set to meet King Charles III at Windsor Castle on Wednesday morning.
This isn’t Trump’s first controversial UK visit—his 2019 trip featured a giant baby blimp and waves of protests across the country.
Organisers of this year’s demonstrations promised events “even bigger” than before, with police preparing for heightened security measures.
History of protests traced.
The 2019 state visit set a precedent for high-profile protests in London, including giant blimps, street demonstrations, and coordinated campaigns highlighting political controversies.
Protest groups argued that symbolic stunts were necessary to draw attention to issues like Trump’s policies and past associations.
Led By Donkeys, one of the most visible UK activist groups, has a history of staging provocative public displays targeting political figures.
Their use of high-profile imagery, social media amplification, and direct satire has made them a recurring thorn for visiting dignitaries.
This context helps explain the latest projections: an escalation of both creativity and provocation aimed squarely at Trump.
The Windsor Castle projection unveiled.
As the Trumps landed, massive projections of the former president alongside convicted s** offender Jeffrey Epstein were broadcast on the castle walls.
Trump and Epstein’s relationship has drawn scrutiny for months, with calls mounting to release all Epstein files in full.
Observers also reported the projection included Trump’s alleged 2023 mugshot, adding fuel to the politically charged display.
The political campaign group Led By Donkeys posted photos on Instagram, captioned: “Hey Donald, welcome to Windsor Castle.”
Thames Valley Police confirmed the arrests, labeling the stunt a potential case of malicious communication.
Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker stated, “We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.”
“Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection, and four people have been arrested,” she added.
The suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues, police said.
Trump was not physically present at Windsor Castle during the projections.
The Windsor Castle projection included not just Epstein images but also politically loaded references, ensuring maximum social media circulation.
Police confirmed a rapid response prevented further escalation, but the stunt had already gone viral.
Four arrests mark the first major law enforcement action of Trump’s 2025 UK state visit.
Investigators continue to piece together details of the stunt, reviewing footage and social media posts linked to the suspects.
Trump set for Windsor Castle.
With Trump set for Windsor Castle, the world now waits to see whether his UK visit will proceed quietly—or descend further into headline chaos.
Meanwhile, the Epstein-Trump images have already dominated global news cycles, sparking debate, outrage, and endless memes online.
