The princess and first lady pitched in to help the 4- to 6-year-old children, with Melania Trump taking instruction from the various children as she helped color an illustration of a bear.
As the children built “bug hotels” out of cardboard and tubes, the first lady said, “Show me how, what I should do.”
She was asked her favorite bug and replied, “A ladybug.”

The Trumps’ state visit began Wednesday, where a state banquet capped a day of pageantry, according to the BBC.
King Charles praised Trump for “finding solutions to some of the world’s most intractable conflicts.”
“Our people have fought and died together for the values we hold dear,” Charles said.

In speaking of the relationship between Britain and the United states, Trump said “special does not begin to do it justice”.
On Thursday, Trump met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his country house, Chequers, and unveiled a massive package of technology investments in Britain, according to NBC.
Trump voiced “disagreement” with Starmer over Britain’s support for a Palestinian state, according to ABC.

“One of our few disagreements, actually,” Trump said.
Starmer said, he and Trump agree there must be a peace process to end the conflict in Gaza, and Trump said, he wants hostages held by Hamas freed “right now.”
“We have to have the hostages back immediately,” Trump said.

“That’s what the people of Israel want. They want them back. And we want the fighting to stop. And it’s going to stop, but a lot of bad things — you know, Hamas, said that they’re going to put the hostages up as bait. They’re going to put the hostages in front of any attack. And that’s pretty brutal. We haven’t heard that one in a long time. So, we have to remember that,” Trump continued.
