Donald and Melania Trump's unusual sleeping arrangement during UK state visit laid bare

Source: Express

Donald and Melania Trump's unusual sleeping arrangement during their stay at Windsor Castle has been revealed by insiders. The US President will reportedly sleep in a separate suite to his wife while in the UK for a state visit, with the couple also sleeping in their own sheets carried over the Atlantic. Members of Donald Trump's team purportedly looked over the room where the leader of the free world would be staying and judged the royal bedding to not be up to it. The President's squad are said to have then provided housekeepers at the castle, who brought his preferred bed linen.

A courtier is believed to have joked that Trump was conscious of staining the bed clothes with his tanning chemicals. King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate welcomed the President and his wife to the 11th-century castle earlier today. The guests were greeted outside Victoria House, a little-known property nestled in the Royal Kitchen Gardens at Frogmore, before enjoying a carriage ride to the Quadrangle.

Ephraim Hardcastle wrote in the Daily Mail: “Below-stairs wags, noting that Melania has a separate suite, joke that if she’d asked for a water bed she could effortlessly drift apart from Donald."

Mr Trump will meet with Sir Keir Starmer at Chequers, the UK Prime Minister's country residence in Buckinghamshire, tomorrow.

And she is a very horrible person on her own.


We’re this ever to be reported about a Democratic president, the media would talk of nothing else for a month and they would be shamed practically into resigning. So imagine what the media would do to a Democratic president who increased their wealth by over $1 billion while in the White House for seven months.

The fashion choices for our First lady have been,IMHO , unfeminine and brutally unyielding in their angularity..
Nature in its wisdom doesn't create angles..most particularly in the feminine form.
Wearing a purple hat and a black suit is a signifier of mourning..not appropriate for a state visit to UK..

those rubber sheets that parents put on kids beds, under the regular sheets when training their toddlers..........

I doubt Melania has slept with Trump since she got pregnant........especially now, because Mr. Poopy-Pants stinks to high heaven.......

Everyone should address him as Mr. Poopy-Pants when talking about him here and everywhere, instead of just saying "Trump".........NOW that would really get him outraged, and ranting in texts all night until he had an MI or Stroked out.......

Melania had the toilet she would use that had been in the Obama residence, replaced.
Probably did it again after Biden.

I think she wanted the sheets replaced because she doesn't want cooties from previous users. Why else would somebody bring their own sheets on a trip to England to stay over at the King's house.

I wonder if they leave their sheets behind or if they make the King's staff pack them up.

there is truth to that..........there was a story that Trump's best buddy in North Korea, went to a meeting with China, and anywhere he touched, chairs he sat in, etc was thoroughly scrubbed after him, by his people, to prevent China from getting his "Touch" DNA.......He probably stayed in his incredibly fortified choo choo train.....rather than any quarters in China........for the same reason.......

Someone should get Trump's DNA and get it tested to see why he is seemingly going downhill......We could have a lottery that people could enter for what they think he has..........Probably spirochetes in his brain........

it's not necessarily an indication of current sickness or general health. You'd want blood, urine, and feces for that.

57. King's staff jokes Trump brought own sheets to avoid tan cream stains on royal linen
Thu Sep 18, 2025, 08:57 AM
Sep 18

trump is being laughed at by the King's staff



https://www.rawstory.com/king-charles-trump/

President Donald Trump flew his own bed linen from the U.S. for his stay in a royal English castle — and courtiers in the ultra-luxurious accommodation think they know why.

Courtiers at Windsor Castle — a home to Great Britain's King Charles — are reportedly joking that Trump wants to avoid leaving stains on the royal bedding from tanning chemicals.

The courtier's theory was shared with the Daily Mail in a report Tuesday as Trump started his first full day of the United Kingdom visit.....

"The president's aides, inspecting his suite in Windsor Castle before his arrival, provided housekeepers with bedding. A courtier muses that it may just be the President not wanting to stain the royal pillows with whatever tanning chemicals he uses to keep his orange hue.

"Below-stairs wags, noting that Melania has a separate suite, joke that if she'd asked for a water bed she could effortlessly drift apart from Donald."
