First Lady Melania Trump and Queen Camilla teamed up for a joint engagement following Tuesday's ceremonial welcome. The duo made their way to the White House Tennis Pavilion for an educational event attended by students, including state champions from the Presidential AI Challenge, launched by the first lady last year.
The group used AI-enabled glasses to learn about American history and the Special Relationship by reviewing artifacts, including a portrait of John Adams and bust of Winston Churchill, from the White House Collection and the National Archives and Records Administration. The first lady tried on a pair of glasses, while the Queen declined to put one on.
Melania was asked during the engagement how she was doing following Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. "Very well, thank you," she replied.

This past March, the president of the United States' wife convened representatives from 45 nations for Fostering the Future Together's inaugural meeting.
