During King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the United States, First Lady Melania Trump and Queen Camilla carried out their ceremonial duties alongside the two leaders.
A light-hearted moment occurred during a rainy military review at the White House. After commenting on the wet weather, Queen Camilla joked that they would have “soggy bottoms” because of the damp seats. According to lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling, Melania appeared puzzled by the British expression and asked, “What did I just hear? Soggy bottoms?”
The phrase, made famous by The Great British Bake Off, refers to an undercooked pastry base. Camilla’s humorous remark offered a rare glimpse of British humor and created an amusing cultural exchange during the formal state visit.
