US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has given a Tripadvisor-style review of his stay at Windsor Castle — with full marks for the food, art and host.
On returning to Washington yesterday following his UK State Visit, he told reporters the highlight of the two-day stay was “just being with King Charles — he’s a wonderful guy”.

Mr Trump said he had seen “more paintings than any human being has ever saw — and statues” during his tour.
Of Wednesday night’s lavish State Banquet, the fast food loving Commander in Chief said he and wife Melania dined on: “Whatever the hell they served us.”
And he described the guests who thronged the banqueting hall alongside the royals as “the biggest people in the world”.
He said of the King: “I got to know him very well. I knew him before, but now I know him a little better. I knew Charles as a prince and now I know him as a king and he’s doing very well.
“They treated us great. They treated our country great. I view that as being really respect for our country, the way they did it, because last night was beautiful.”
Asked if the First Lady enjoyed her time with the Princess of Wales after the two women hosted Scouts together, he replied: “She did. I did too. I sat with her. Melania thought she was great.
“A very wonderful person. She went through a lot too — but hopefully that’s gone now. William is wonderful.”
During the visit, the President and First Lady were given a carriage ride, shown a celebration of historical artefacts marking the US and UK’s “special relationship” and received a guided tour of St George’s Chapel, the late Queen’s resting place.
After being told she was one of eleven monarchs who are laid to rest there, Mr Trump replied: “A lot of history.”
Food at the State Banquet included Hampshire watercress panna cotta with Parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad, followed by organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes, with a thyme and savoury infused jus.
