“I was honored to host Their Majesties for a State Dinner that reflected the warmth and history shared between our countries,” exclaimed Mrs. Trump. The First Lady organized a white tie dinner, the most formal evening dress code, in honor of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Mrs. Trump’s refined design signature included floral arrangements inspired by overflowing British gardens, cascading candelabras, sophisticated live music performances, and a menu featuring a delightful beehive shaped gâteau made with honey harvested directly from the White House bees. The dinner brought together distinguished guests from across government, technology, business, sports, and cultureshowcasing American hospitality, craftsmanship, and culinary excellence.
Throughout the visit, the President and First Lady hosted Their Majesties for a series of engagements that reflected the enduring friendship between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, grounded in deeply shared history, values, and a commitment to future generations. Among these was a pleasant visit to the newly expanded White House Beehive on Monday and a historic State Arrival Ceremony on Tuesday featuring the first ever military pass in review at the White House, a 21-gun cannon salute, and full military honors with the involvement of nearly 500 members of the United States Armed Forces.
From the arrival ceremony to the final engagements, the State Visit reaffirmed the strength of the U.S.–U.K. partnership and highlighted the importance of continued collaboration across diplomacy, education, and innovation. The First Lady is proud to have led the preparations for the visithonoring tradition while embracing the promise of the future.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - In-town pool report #4: royal departure
Both couples exited South portico at 11:00and chatted as royal vehicle awaited. Conversation was inaudible to pool. Military man in uniform escorted queen into vechicle. She waved at press. Vehicle pulled away on South driveway at 11:01, queen rolled down window and waved goodbye again. She was wearing a baby blue dress with a flared skirt.
POTUS said to pool after they left:
“Great people. We need more people like that in our country”
POTUS and FLOTUS turned and walked inside st 11:02.
Also from arrival: A reporter asked the king, what do you think of the Trump renaissance? Kings answer was inaudible to pool
Re pool report 2: that was just press guidance, not for wider distribution. Apols for any confusion.
