The conspiracy that Melania Trump has been replaced with a 'body double' has yet again resurfaced as the pair touched down in the UK to meet our royals.
If this is your first time hearing about this - buckle up, because it’s a wild ride.
It all began in 2017 when the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, 55, was alleged to have been replaced by a 'body double'.
It came after the mother-of-one was accused of using a 'lookalike', and the conspiracy has continued almost every time she appeared in public with Donald Trump, 79.

The reason?
There have been many as of late. From her 'big sunglasses', to wearing clothing online users deem 'incorrect' for Melania to choose herself, her walk, her height, her hair, and her facial features have all been scrutinised.
While you might not think Trump would notice social media having a field day with his wife, he actually addressed it in 2019.
Calling the allegations ‘fake news’, he claimed that critics were ‘only getting more deranged with time’, as per the Associated Press.

But now, the whole thing has started back up again as Trump and Melania touched down in the UK for their second state visit on Tuesday (16 September).
When images of the pair meeting the royals at Windsor Castle surfaced, people had a lot to say.
One said: “I thought it looked like one of Trump's doubles. Maybe it's a Melania double too.”

A second claimed: “That’s probably Melania double. She don’t travel with Trump.”

Another added: “It's the fake body double Melania. This fake Melania accompanies Trump on various public activities. Her face is rounder than real Melania & she smiles and holds Don's hand in a way the real Melania never does. That's the reason behind the dark glasses and full length garments.”
Someone else wrote: “The minute this ‘Melania’ walked across the Whitehouse lawn to get into the helicopter with Trump, it was obvious that they are using a body double again. She was wearing big dark sunglasses but the differences are there-both in facial features & personality.”
Of course, the 'body double' claims have never been proven, so it’s likely to be a load of internet tosh.
Anyway, Trump and Melania visited the Royal Family, and shared a banquet meal together yesterday evening.

During his speech, Trump spoke about his love for the UK.
He said: "This is truly one of the highest honours of my life, such respect for you and such respect for your country."
The US president added: "It's a singular privilege to be the first American president welcomed here [twice]. And if you think about it, it's a lot of presidents, and this was the second state visit. That's the first, and maybe that's going to be the last time. I hope it is actually."
