Where is Melania Trump? First lady, Queen Rania visit DC girls charter school

First lady Melania Trump toured a Washington, D.C. charter school with Jordan's Queen Rania on Wednesday, during the queen's first White House visit in 2017.

As U.S. President Donald Trump and Jordan's King Abdullah II held a meeting and joint White House press conference, Melania Trump and Queen Rania toured Excel Academy, where they said hello to students in classrooms and participated in a listening session. Excel Academy is DC's first and only public charter school for girls, located in southeast Washington.

Upon entering the pre-K-through-eighth-grade school, the former model and Jordanian royal were reportedly greeted by students holding bouquets of flowers.

"We believe that in educating a girl, we educate a family, we educate a community," school CEO Deborah Lockhart said of Excel Academy.

According to CNN's Betsy Klein, the first lady and queen appeared "friendly and comfortable together." At one point, the queen sat in an elevated chair, at which Trump laughed, saying, "You got very tall."
