Inside the Dinner

The event took place in the East Room during the royals’ four-day U.S. visit commemorating America’s 250th; the East Wing demolition meant a change of venue. President Trump praised the King’s address to Congress, saying, “He made a great speech. I was very jealous.” The evening included a triple toast and the King’s lighthearted Boston Tea Party quip, closing with a call to raise glasses “To the United States, and the United Kingdom. God bless both our countries.”

Notable Faces

Guests ranged from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos to Tim Cook, golfer Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, several Fox figures and Trump family members. Photographs also showed the group near a controversial painting that depicts Mr. Trump surviving a 2024 assassination attempt, which replaced a former presidential portrait in the Grand Foyer.
