Kate Middleton and Melania Trump Step Out for First Joint Outing

The Princess of Wales and First Lady of the United States matched in style as they embarked on their first royal engagement together as part of the U.S. state visit to the U.K.

Kate Middleton and Melania Trump stepped out for their first joint engagement on Thursday, September 18. The Princess of Wales and First Lady embarked on a tour of Frogmore Gardens, where they met young members of the Scouts' Squirrels programme.

Kate looked elegant in an earthy-toned ensemble, featuring a cropped dark green jacket layered over a brown top, styled with an oversized green scarf tied into a dramatic bow at the neck. Her look was completed with a high-waisted brown skirt that flowed gracefully below the knee, paired with tall dark suede boots.

Beside her, Melania opted for a chic, smart-casual style, wearing a tailored camel suede-style belted jacket with utility-inspired flap pockets. She paired it with slim cream trousers and brown leather pointed-toe flats.

The pair were photographed sharing a lively conversation as they walked through the Frogmore Gardens, where they later met with Chief Scout Dwayne Fields and a group of young Scouts from the Squirrels programme.

Melania and Kate warmly interacted with the children, who were learning about nature to achieve their "Go Wild" badges. In one image, Melania can be seen walking hand in hand with one of the Scouts as she chatted with Kate.

In another, the First Lady joined the Scouts as they shook a parachute filled with balls in a game.

Her outing with the Princess came on the second day of her and President Trump's state visit to the U.K. The visit marked the couple's second after their first during Trump's first presidential term in 2019.
