What has been done in the past? Have other Presidents brought their families?

Only the Clintons with Chelsie... afaik

President Kennedy brought his children but they were only small at the time and they just stayed at the US Embassy while their parents got on with business.

She looks dreadful. I think when Theresa May gets dressed she looks in the mirror and sees an 18 year old looking back at her.

It might have been purposeful? She looks like she’s going to a funeral...

The thing that most amazes me is that Trump brought the grown children and spouses with on the visit.

It is so tacky. Like something out of the Beverly Hillbillies or Chevy Chase and his funny family movies.

So embarrassing

“Royal Vacation”

In stark contrast, Prince Charles, 70, has championed sustainability for decades in speeches, articles, books and films.

He has consistently used his clout to raise awareness around issues like climate change, deforestation and ocean pollution.

Trump and Prince Charles, polar opposites on the environment, have tea

—
I love Prince Charles for his dedication and am definitely team BRF UK on declaring a climate change emergency. Whether it be carbon, threatening habitats, plastic, rising seas, water sources, pollution effects on illness, — if we don’t look at the exponential effect of doubling, tripling, quadrupling of our species and all that goes with it we are doomed.

Charles, through his privilege knows the best of the best. So what did he do? Amidst criticism that he’s talking to plants, he actually is doing just that.

Sustainability is just that, large or small scale. Each piece is a part of the mosaic of our planet.

Someday I hope to visit a road map of Prince Charles.

The places he hopes to pass along to his family.

There a Native American saying that got PR through good sustainable products by a company (long time company) here in the USA, and that is: The Seventh Generation Principle is based on an ancient Iroquois philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future.

Imagine that, way before the industrial world...

And Prince Charles knows this...

America is governed by the almighty dollar at the moment, but this too shall pass. There are too many who are asking what’s wrong with this picture?

APPLAUSE!!!

I'm not wowed by anyone's outfit for the banquet. However, Theresa wins "most unsuitable" award.

I read that they were invited actually

Dead.

Lmao

I read that they were invited actually

They were invited at the "suggestion" of the American ambassador. In other words, they invited themselves.

Oh, well then damn
I stand corrected and shouldn’t be the least bit surprised!

Every time I try to give this family a chance
Boom
lol

I think they had notions of the young Trumps bonding with the young royals, but the young royals gave them a wide berth.

Is that really “cleavage” almost down to her waist?

And I expected better from the younger Trumps, especially Ivanka.

Sorry to be all catty but the Trump women are not dressed properly for a state banquet. Melania shouldn't have bare shoulders

*This is what happens when you elect a celebrity as President I suppose*

I think the 'bare shoulders' are acceptable

^*BBM

 

[floridagrrl]

I think the 'bare shoulders' are acceptable

^*BBM

But it was DIANA

Anything was acceptable from her to me! Lol
My goodness she had the best shoulders
Those blue eyes

Love that dress

Awww, miss her being with us on earth where she has been so needed

 

[Keine Engel]

The Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex had just enough sleeve on their dresses to cover their shoulders, Theresa May's dress was awful, even worse than Melania's.

I didn't see the other lady you mentioned.

Marchioness of Cholmondeley
(I don't think this was last night's banquet?)

Queen Letizia of Spain
(Previous State banquet but she looks stunning )

 

[floridagrrl]

Here’s the full dress, last pic


And some other off the shoulder numbers she wore at state banquets

The first one was right after their engagement

 

[Cappuccino]

Maybe I'm just old fashioned but it doesn't look right to me for a state occasion. And May's dress doesn't look right for a Prime Minister on any occasion.
