    President Trumps lavish Windsor Castle visit features grand suite, Royal Blend tea and military honors
    Donald Trumps stay at Windsor Castle during his state visit will be nothing but the best for the American president.On Tuesday, President Trump and first lady Melania arrived in the U.K., where they were greeted by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper. They spent the night at Windsor Castle, according to The Guardian.While no public events were planned for the evening, the festivities are set to begin on Wednesday as the couple will be hosted by King Charles III. Ahead of the couple's arrival, hundreds of staff worked through the halls and grounds of the nearly 1,000-year-old castle to ensure the monarch welcomed the couple in true royal fashion.U.K. POLICE DEPLOY 'COMPREHENSIVE' DRONE OPERATION ACROSS WINDSOR CASTLE FOR TRUMP VISIT"They will stay in one of Windsor Castles grand guest suites reserved for heads of state," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "Each suite has adjoining bedrooms for privacy.""Regarding tea, there is a specific Windsor Castle black tea known as the Royal Blend that will be offered," Fordwich said. "Their stay will include full military honor guards, three brass bands, and the highly anticipated banquet in St Georges Hall.""I like to think President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will sleep in the lavish State apartments," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "Paintings of kings, queens and lords of the Garter in ornate frames will join them as they sleep."The castle is steeped in pomp, pageantry and history. William the Conqueror began building it in 1070 on high ground above the River Thames, near a hunting forest and a days march from the Tower of London, according to the royal familys website. It has been inhabited and altered by monarchs for centuries.The castle was expanded in the 1360s by Edward III, who created St. Georges Hall for his knights of the newly founded Order of the Garter. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were described as "devoted to Windsor" and spent much of their time there.During World War II, Windsor Castle was home to a young Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret. The late Queen Elizabeth II also used Windsor as her residence during the coronavirus pandemic, spending significant time there during her final years.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERAhead of his visit, Trump hailed the "great honor" of being hosted by his "friend" at "the ultimate" Windsor Castle for his second state visit, the U.K.s Standard reported."My relationship is very good with the U.K., and Charles, as you know, whos now king, is my friend," Trump told reporters, quoted by the outlet. "Its the first time this has ever happened where somebody was honored twice. So, its a great honor.""And this ones at Windsor," said Trump, 79. "And I dont want to say ones better than the other, but they say Windsor Castle is the ultimate, right? So, its going to be nice.""Primarily its to be with Charles and Camilla," he continued. "Theyve been friends of mine for a long time, long before he was king, and its an honor to have this king."After the welcoming ceremonies, the Trumps are set to view an exhibit of documents and artwork highlighting Britains special relationship with the U.S., according to The Associated Press.The true centerpiece of the state visit is the banquet in St. Georges Hall. The Waterloo Table, about half the length of a football field, can seat up to 160 guests. The Associated Press reported it takes five full days to set the table, which is laid with more than 4,000 pieces, including 200-year-old silver.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSMen are expected to wear white ties and tailcoats, while women don designer gowns and jewels. Both the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla are expected to wear tiaras.Chef Darren McGrady, a royal chef for 15 years who cooked for five U.S. presidents, told Fox News Digital that guests can expect plenty of royal etiquette."You wouldnt have something like a banana, take it off the tray and peel it like a monkey," he said. "You would slice it into rings and eat it with a fork. If there are pears, you cut off the top and use a teaspoon."Grapes are the best option because theyre already cut into small bunches. Pineapples may look whole on the table, but theyve already been sliced. When you lift the top off, there will already be rings with the centers removed. And if things get messy, there are finger bowls with warm water to dip and clean your fingers.""I remember one state banquet where guests thought it was tradition to drink from the finger bowl," he said. "Nobody said anything. Its a state banquet, you just get on with it."Fordwich said the menus are written in French, a tradition dating back to the 11th century."This practice symbolizes sophistication," she shared.Fordwich also noted that this years food will be prepared by Head Royal Chef Mark Flanagan."He is adept at tailoring menus for visiting guests," Fordwich said. "Both British and American tastes will be considered. I am sure the entire menu will have an American twist to ensure the Trumps are content."WATCH: KATE MIDDLETON SET TO SHINE AT STATE VISIT WITH TIARA MOMENT: AUTHOR"In keeping with tradition, the menu wont be revealed until tomorrow night," she added. "It will include locally grown and sourced organic food, such as honey, herbs, fruits and vegetables from the gardens."Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine and author of"My Mother and I,"previously told Fox News Digital that royal watchers can expect the king, 76, to roll out the red carpet for the Trumps."This particular state visit is very significant," she said. "Everyone is calling it the soft power of the monarchy. King Charles cant do anything remotely political or even say anything remotely political because thats our constitution. Hes head of state, and hes monarch, but he doesnt get involved in politics. But this event strengthens the relationship between both nations, and its one everyone is looking forward to.""The royal family is especially looking forward to this," Seward added.Trump is the first U.S. president to be invited for two state visits by a British monarch.The late queenhosted him and Melania in 2019 during his first administration. William and Kate also took part in that visit.

    South Carolina court moves forward execution of cop killer who says most laws are unconstitutional
    A South Carolina judge allowed an execution to move forward after ruling that the man's beliefs, including that most laws are unconstitutional and citizens have an absolute right to defend their property to death, do not prove he is mentally incompetent.Steven Bixby, 58, was set to die in May for the 2003 killings of two police officers before the state Supreme Court stopped his execution in order to determine his mental competency. A lower court was asked to evaluate if his beliefs about the legal system meant his lawyers were unable to defend him.The latest ruling, issued by Judge R. Scott Sprouse, gives the execution the green light, at least for now. Addressing concerns about the ability of Bixby's lawyers to defend him, Scott said their client cooperates with his legal team and the psychiatrists who treat and question him.The judge wrote that while Bixby "has often disagreed with counsel and expresses distrust regarding their strategy in this proceeding, the evidence demonstrates that he understands their role, the rationale for why they are engaging in this competency proceeding, and that he can choose whether or not to cooperate with them."SOUTH CAROLINA DEATH ROW INMATE SAYS JUDGES ARE LED BY SATAN AS COURT WEIGHS IF HE IS COMPETENT FOR EXECUTIONBixbys lawyers can ask to appeal the ruling.He said recently in a handwritten motion to the court that judges who rule against him are guided by Satan and suggested that the judge would commit treason if he failed to stop his execution and free him from custody, according to The Associated Press. A psychologist also previously said Bixby understands what led to his death sentence, but that he believes blood found on his clothes the night of the killings contains the DNA of Jesus Christ."I am an innocent man!! Let freedom ring & let those committing treason swing!!! Like Thomas Jefferson: I am standing on principle even if I stand alone," Bixby wrote in the motion, via The AP.In December 2003, Bixby shot Abbeville County deputy Danny Wilson as the officer knocked on the front door of his parents' home, a day after they threatened the road crew, according to officials.Wilson's dying body was pulled inside the home by the family and restrained with his own handcuffs. The Bixbys then killed state Constable Donnie Ouzts as he and other officers responded to the home because Wilson had been missing for an hour, leading to a 12-hour standoff as officers and the family fired hundreds of shots at each other, investigators said.Bixby's parents were also charged with murder but have since died.SOUTH CAROLINA DEATH ROW INMATE INVOKES 'SOVEREIGN CITIZEN' DEFENSE IN BID TO AVOID EXECUTIONIn his motion to the court, Bixby reaffirmed his long-held belief that his family was justified in killing Wilson because the deputy was attempting to help take their land.The handwritten motion came after the judge held a hearing last month to determine if Bixby was mentally competent for execution.At the hearing, lawyers for Bixby said that he is convinced the U.S. legal system is unconstitutional and wrong, and refuses to share information needed to help him avoid execution. Prosecutors contended that Bixby's beliefs are shared by others and that he understands why the state wants to end his life.An expert called by Bixby's lawyers said the isolation of prison has only made his beliefs more delusional and that Bixby is stuck in his mindset.The judge highlighted that two of the experts called by the state have been dealing with Bixby since shortly after the killings and that while Bixby has previously been angry with their testimony about his mental state, he understands they need to do their job.The state's experts testified that Bixby is not going to abandon his beliefs about the legal system and that he views himself in some ways as a martyr prepared to die for his beliefs if his appeals fail. They said Bixby believes he will see his parents again in heaven.The psychiatrist who sees and treats death row inmates in South Carolina said Bixby described his mental state to him as: "Im not crazy. Im not a mental health case. I may be an [expletive], but Im not crazy."Bixby was out of regular appeals when the state Supreme Court halted his execution in March.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
