Trump & 7 Family Members Attend State Dinner At Buckingham Palace, But Princes William & Harry Avoid Private Meeting

In total, Trump was joined by his first lady, four of his five children and two of their spouses.

In an interview with the British newspaper The Sun, Trump stated he wanted Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Tiffany to meet Prince William and Prince Harry.
