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

Ivanka Trump, the president’s eldest daughter, was already set to attend the banquet as a formal adviser to the president and a senior member of his administration, while her husband, Jared Kushner, is also part of the U.S. delegation in attendance to the events.


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.
