When it comes to presidential power couples, Donald and Melania Trump are rewriting the rules of marital diplomacy – one separate bedroom at a time.

During their 2025 state visit to the UK, palace insiders spilled the royal tea about the Trumps’ sleeping arrangements at Windsor Castle. Apparently, the couple requested their own suites, complete with imported American sheets (because apparently, royal linens just won’t do).

A Marriage of Convenience?

Journalist Michael Wolff hasn’t been shy about suggesting that the Trumps are more “separated” than united. He boldly claimed they “live separate lives” – a statement the White House has vehemently denied. But let’s be real: Melania’s frequent “disappearances” from public view and her tendency to maintain separate living quarters speak volumes.

Royal Precedent

Interestingly, separate bedrooms aren’t exactly a Trump innovation. The British royal family has long embraced this practice, with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip famously enjoying their own sleeping quarters. Even current royals like King Charles and Queen Camilla maintain separate homes.

Public Appearances vs. Private Reality

Despite the bedroom drama, the Trumps seemed determined to project a united front during their Windsor Castle visit. They held hands for the cameras – a stark contrast to William and Kate’s more reserved royal protocol. But for those paying attention, it felt more like a performative display than genuine marital intimacy.

Whether it’s separate bedrooms, separate lives, or just a strategic public relations move, the Trumps continue to keep everyone guessing about the true nature of their relationship.
