I always thought Thatcher looked appropriate.

President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump dined with the royal family and other important British politicians on Monday night at Buckingham Palace.
Queen Elizabeth II hosted a State Banquet at the Palace, which was attended by Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prime Minister Theresa May (who has just days left in her term), Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and more. Trump's children Ivanka Trump her husband Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Eric's wife Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump also attended the banquet.(snip)
The royals all looked their best on Monday evening at the formal event as many of them wore white dresses.
The First Lady wore a floor-length Dior Haute Couture ivory gown. Kate Middleton stunned in an Alexander McQueen dress. She also wore some impressive heirlooms as jewelry, including the Queen Mother's sapphire and diamond fringe earrings as well as the Lover's Knot Tiara, which belonged to Prince William and Prince Harry's mother Princess Diana. The Duchess of Cambridge has worn this specific tiara a number of times to various official dinners and banquets.
The tiara itself is over 100-years-old.
The Queen wore an Angela Kelly dress while Camilla had on a Bruce Oldfield dress.
President Trump sat next to Queen Elizabeth and the Duchess of Cornwall at the meal. There were 170 people there in total. According to reports, the meal consisted of steamed filet of halibut, new Windsor lamb, strawberry sable with lemon verbena cream, fresh fruit and coffee and petit fours.
The 93-year-old monarch welcomed the U.S. President in a warm speech and praised the longstanding relationship between the two countries. She said she was "delighted to welcome" President Trump to Buckingham Palace for the banquet.

I get tired of informal clothes and the sloppy clothes that I often wear. I like to get dressed up and go to an elegant occasion with a beautiful woman (my wife) who’s all dreseed up and looking gorgeous. She’s gorgeous all the time, but I love it especally at elegant occasions.
I always thought Thatcher looked appropriate.
It’s great that you’re so proud of your wife. Seriously.
The Trump sons and most of the other Americans, besides Mnuchin, appear to have longer waistcoats than the Brits.
Interesting photos of The Queen. Thanks for posting.
mike’s chowing down
He probably has a protective vest on underneath which would add some discomfort.
LOL!! Good one.
BTW...who is Kate Middleton? Oh yes, she is the daughter-in-law of the late Diana Spencer.
Come to think of it...that's what I did!
He also drank the wine before the anthem ended, and Michelle grief and hugged the queen.
No, Barron wasn’t there.
“so Kim Guilfoyle a no show huh?”
I was wondering the same thing. I’m shocked, actually. She’s a sucker for the British royalty thing, and is a friend of Kate and William.
I think it’s her; not the dress.
Trump is ah... too big for that outfit : )
Fewer cheeseburgers from McDonalds.
#34 It is always the dress’s fault : )
I do like and respect Queen Elizabeth. She helped out in WW2 and has always put her duty to her country before anything else and still doing it at 93. I cannot say the same for the younger royals, especially Harry. His tantrum over his grifter wife (what Meghan wants, Meghan gets!) and being totally whipped by her is absolutely disgusting.
You must be referring to The Dutchess of Nothingham?
According to her Twitter page, she was at her son’s flag football game.
Doesn’t Sarah Sanders look grand?
