The White House state dinner for King Charles and Queen Camilla on Tuesday brought together a glittering array of British and American dignitaries, including Fox News hosts, tech billionaires, and top politicians. The event, hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, aimed to celebrate the enduring special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Notable Guests
The guest list featured prominent figures such as Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy, and Fox News personalities Bret Baier, Maria Bartiromo, Greg Gutfeld, Laura Ingraham, and Jesse Watters. Tech leaders included Marc Andreessen, Marc Benioff, Jensen Huang, and Ruth Porat. Political attendees comprised Speaker Mike Johnson, Senators Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio, and UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.
Dinner Highlights
The three-course meal concluded with a dessert made from honey sourced from Melania Trump's personal beehive. In his toast, President Trump underscored the historic alliance between the two nations. King Charles, in a lighthearted moment, joked about Trump's proposed East Wing ballroom, likening it to the British burning of the White House in 1814.
The state dinner is part of King Charles's four-day state visit to the US, which aims to strengthen transatlantic relations. The full guest list included Supreme Court justices, Cabinet members, diplomats, and business leaders, reflecting the breadth of the US-UK partnership.
