Presidential thank you: Trump and a glamorous Melania host Charles and Camilla at the [tr] (photos)
UK Daily Mail ^ | 6/4/2019 | Joel Adams, Rebecca English

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.

Charles must have been miserable with that menu. Despite all his manifest faults, his duchy produces the most amazing food! We used to get it in America, on occasion, but I haven’t seen his products lately. He’s a very talented organic farmer.

Melania is without question the most beautiful and elegant first lady in history.

Can you imagine that witch Hildabeast dressed in her table cloth at such a formal dinner? Thank you Lord, thank you the evil witch lost. Amen.

Are you certain the person you have identified as Camilla Parker Bowles is not really Camillus Peter Blowes?

I wonder if Mr. & Mrs. Kellyanne Conway attended the dinner!

She wouldn’t have had a dinner with the Royals, beneath her.

Butt, butt, butt....”...avoided a smaller-than-expected protest in central London...” Butt, butt, butt the lame stream press was touting the gazillions of Trump haters out protesting. Or was it thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands as, kind of quoted this morning? And how gauche of the low life to have meat and taters. Hope there was some Hunts Ketchup on the table. :-)

The expressions in general indicate that President Trump is not at all what they were expecting based on the Soviet levels of propaganda issued daily by our press, and theirs. The man is a billionaire, for G*d’s sake. He didn’t get there being an idiot.

I think George The Jealous was left at home with all the dirty dishes. Kelly may have traveled without her family.

I’ll bet Charles was miserable the entire time.

Whoever helps Teresa May with her hair and dress needs to be fired

Camilla is looking quite elegant these days. If only she’d avoided smoking and used sunscreen when she was younger, she might even be glamorous.

Her 80’s “Farrah” haircut could use an update. But I guess Charlie likes it that way.

That can’t be right. We are constantly reminded that Michelle Obama was given that title in perpetuity by the Main Stream Press. Thankfully I lack the skills to provide photographic evidence on this site.

He’s gone vegan years ago. I’m sure even the potatoes Anna were not to his palate

Who gives a damn. I’m glad our President got meat and potatoes
