WASHINGTON — Tuesday evening’s state dinner honoring King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House represented one of the most sought-after invitations in the nation’s capital, featuring nearly 130 distinguished guests who enjoyed Dover sole meunière and a unique beehive-themed chocolate dessert made with honey from the White House’s own beehive.
The guest roster for President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s formal dinner revealed a strong emphasis on corporate executives, technology company leaders, and personal acquaintances from the Trump family’s Palm Beach social circle.
Notably, every conservative Supreme Court justice received an invitation — including those who have previously ruled against Trump’s key tariff policies. However, the court’s three liberal justices were absent from the evening’s festivities.
The attendee list featured numerous personalities from Fox News, Trump’s preferred television network, along with representatives from two additional conservative media organizations. Three of the president’s five children attended alongside their spouses, and Trump’s father-in-law was also present. The gathering included several prominent athletic figures and multiple members of Congress, including top leadership from both the House and Senate.
