At a formal state banquet at Buckingham Palace, US President Donald Trump and Queen Elizabeth II emphasize the close relationship between their two nations since the Second World War. The formal dinner in the palace's ballroom was attended by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, as well as Prince William and Duchess Kate and Prime Minister Theresa May.
When America's first couple sit down to the lavish state banquet in Buckingham Palace on Monday evening, they will be treated to an exquisite menu that was six months in the planning, and a table that took royal staff three days to set.
Around 170 guests are expected at the dinner personally overseen by Queen Elizabeth II, in what will be a highlight of US President Donald Trump's first state visit to Great Britain.
The dinner will take place on a horseshoe-shaped table in the palace's ballroom, with the Queen and Trump seated at its head, flanked by First Lady Melania, heir to the throne Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
The Duchess of Cambridge donned a white, bridal-inspired dress by Alexander McQueen, according to Harper's Bazaar UK, the same British fashion house behind her 2011 wedding gown, designed by Sarah Burton, and one of her go-to brands. The all-white frock featured ruffles throughout, a sweetheart neckline, and cap sleeves, with a full skirt.
