Presidential thank you: Trump and a glamorous Melania host Charles and Camilla at the [tr] (photos)

The President of the United States last night hosted the heir to the British throne at an intimate 60-person black tie dinner at the official residence of the US Ambassador, Winfield House in Regent’s Park.

Mr Trump and Prince Charles were joined by their wives, the Prime Minister, and officials and dignitaries from both nations for the three-course meal in London, which was held to reciprocate Monday night’s lavish banquet in the Buckingham Palace ballroom.

In contrast to the sophisticated Palace menu which included steamed halibut and strawberry sable, - and was served with a £2,000-a-bottle Chateau Lafite - last night's fare was closer to the heart of the teetotal President with a taste for plain food: beef, potatoes, ice cream, and £30-a-bottle Californian red wine.

It came at the end of a busy day for the President in which he held a joint press conference with Theresa May, met privately with Nigel Farage, and avoided a smaller-than-expected protest in central London.

Marine guards opened the door to royal the car and President greeted the prince with a handshake.

Camilla, 71, looked elegant in in a white evening gown by Fiona Clare with a pretty embroidered overlay and a bejewelled necklace – a striking contrast to Melania's striking red cape-style gown and loose, dark locks.

The prince and the president, both smart in black dinner jackets, chatted warmly following their tea on Monday, which ran over by 15 minutes. The foursome posed briefly for pictures for going inside.

I’m not at all sure I believe you about the vegan bit. He raises extraordinary lamb.

Charles always looks miserable these days. I remember in the 70s-80s when he looked quite dashing as a polo player. Now he just looks old and sunken.

I thought President Trump and First Lady Melania looked happy and elegant as usual. I thought Prince Charles with his ruddy completion and Dutchess Camilla with her warm smile looked happy as well. Our President is usually relaxed, talkative and humorous and he puts his guests at ease. It seemed to me all had a good time. Great to see!

He doesn’t raise anything. The farmers on his estates do. Besides raising ain’t eating

Our side looked fantastic, and I think the Brits were pretty impressed and seemed to be having a good time. Trump likes them (and they are likeable in their own weird way) and I think most of them - not the hostile Muslim immigrants, but the Brits - like him, even if secretly.

Maybe life with Camilla looked greener before he divorced Di and then married Camilla.

Camilla looked elegant??? No she didn’t. Melania looked elegant. Camilla looked as if she pulled an old dischevelled dress out of the dress-up box and threw it on. It clearly didn’t fit. What was she thinking?

Educate yourself. As I said, the man has terrible faults but he knows a lot about farming and organic farming to boot. His estate (particularly at Highgrove) is a mastery of modern and old-fashioned farming techniques. Of course, he has the money to indulge in it but that doesn't mean he leaves everything to flunkies.

I can't stand talking with people who know nothing about a subject while I have followed his organic duchy endeavors for years.

Camilla might not be the best looking horse in the race but from what I’ve read she’s a hoot and Prince Charles obviously loves her. Everybody should be entitled to a little happiness.

I highly doubt that Charles and The Donald are ideological soul mates but they seem to be getting along pretty well and he seemed to hit it off with the Queen too. All in all it seems to be going pretty well and that clown mayor of london hasn’t been able to disrupt anything. The Queen’s probably just glad she didn’t get another Ipod with Obozo’s speeches.

Melania is so beautiful! And thumbs up to the menu! Beef and potatoes - the best!
