President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump host a State Dinner for King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom, Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in the East Room of the White House.
The President isn’t wearing a black tie
Thanks for posting. Nice photos, indeed.
I adore Melania but that dress was too strange. It looked as if it were made of ceramic: she moved, but it didn't above the waist.
So happy to see my country represented with Class.
My King and Queen looked Great.đ
Once the Ballroom is completed hopefully we can welcome King William and Kate.
Well done. đşđ¸đ
She did look nice throughout the trip from the scenes I saw. But I bet she'll be glad to get back home and kick off her shoes.

They like black and white ones sometimes. They think it makes them look classic. Politicians also like black and whites of them with a serious look on their faces. Itâs all just showbiz!
It was just so shameful that we didnât have a ballroom for our betters. /s
Thanks!
The problem with white tie is most men now have gold studs and cuff links and white tie requires platinum or white gold.
Oh. Donât be down in the mouth.
Turn that frown, upside down.
In short time someone will be posting Awesome pictures of events in the New Ballroom.
Bet ya canât wait to print them out in hang them in your Trump Room.
Hang in there Sweetie.đ
I suspect anyone with yellow gold ones probably has at least some sterling somewhere in the drawer, lol.
I donât give a crap about how high up they are, they are adulterers. Diana was chosen to bear him children but she was still a person who was betrayed deeply while Charles never cared a fig about her and was cheating with Camilla while she was still married to Parker Boles. And sheâs a horse face! I hope that William takes the throne sooner rather than later!
Okay, that was pretty good!
That story reminds me of a great joke Bette Midler once told Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, which cracked Johnny up totally:
"Why are you here today," the doctor asked an elderly male patient.Johnny was almost crying laughing, leaning over sideways and slapping the desk..."Doc," said the old man, "I'm having silent gas emissions."
"All right," said the doctor. "You need a check-up. Let's start with your hearing."
By your logic, Vance should take the White House sooner rather than later. I don't think you'd get many to agree with you on this Forum.
What's done is done. The rich are different than you and me. I agree that it was a most distasteful episode and perhaps the most significant of Queen Elizabeth's few failures. But wearing a red letter for the rest of one's life is not done any more. We can only hope they repent.
it’s from the ZZ top song
I wonder what was on the menu?
