Thanks for posting. Very nice pictures, indeed. So I will refrain from my usual mocking of King Charlie.

They are nice photos. It is good to see Melania look so comfortable in the role. All of them look like they’re happy for the exchange.

One can really see how cramped the dining space is. They really do need that ballroom.

What’s the story behind the B/W photo?

Such a cultured, elegant first lady. It is quite a welcome change from boob belts on one, and fishnet stockings with flowered slipcovers on the other.

Or as Ilhan Omar calls him, King Charles the Hundred and Eleventh.

Just a guess: Some professional photographers still photograph in B/W because they think it gives more character to the picture.

Great pics. Most Americans have no idea of this dress code and don’t own it - it is called “White Tie” and it is the most formal of the hierarchy of men’s attire. Very rare to see white tie occasions in the US, though they are more prevalent in the UK.

Maybe. But is it from the same event? I don’t recognize the speaker.

And then we have this glorious, memorable and proud moment with Joey Bidet and the King and Queen of England when he FARTED loudly:

“When you meet the queen of England, you’re not supposed to turn your back on her (presumably in case she steals something). Clearly when you meet the Duchess of Cornwall, you’re supposed to fart.
That’s allegedly what happened when Joe Biden met Camilla at the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow — with the U.S. president doing a terrible job at reducing emissions

“It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” the Mail wrote about the fart — the breaking of wind, not the U.S. leader, I hasten to add.”

I don’t know why one is in B&W, or who the man is giving a toast(?)

I included it to show the guests and the dining tables area.

“Boy is Camila beat.”

Being the, ‘Side Chick’ for decades does tend to prematurely age one. ;)

” Boy is Camilla beat”

I’m not sure what you mean by that but, I thought Camilla looked very nice last night. Some women age well, others do not. I’m in the same age group as Camilla and I have not aged well. For her age, Camilla looked great.
