Melania Trump high-fives Chelsea pensioner during game of bowls

Melania Trump gave a high-five to a Chelsea pensioner as she enjoyed a game of bowls with veterans during a visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

The First Lady showed off her skills as she played bowls in her towering stiletto heels as the Prime Minister’s husband Philip May watched on.

She wore a sleeveless Victoria Beckham dress with wide coloured panels with Christian Louboutin shoes.

Mrs Trump was shown around the chapel at the hospital, which was founded as a retirement home for soldiers by King Charles II in 1682.

After the poppy making, Mrs Trump listened to school children talk about values and service.

She sat in front of a poster which said “Be the best you can be.”

Mrs Trump and Mr May make an unlikely pairing as he is escorting her today while their spouses are embroiled in political talks at Chequers.
