The Presidents eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, was already set to attend in her capacity as a formal adviser to the President, and a senior member of his administration.

Notably, in spite of his ambitions the palace did not allow anyone but him and Melania at the initial ceremonies.
Reminds me of when Trump just walked in and took a chair on the stage at a charity awards banquet. He wasn't a donor or honoree, but he wanted to look like it. The charity could have used a Royal Chamberlain to keep order.

(53,410 posts)Trump and Ivana, his first wife, used to show up, uninvited, to all kinds of events as if they had been invited or were doners. They made sure they were photographed for the high society shots used in the newspapers and then they made sure to leave before they had to donate anything.
Why would that family change now?

(3,537 posts)Party crashers. Trumps have no manners at all. Their crude a**holes. I think Teresa May should have thought twice before she extended the invite right after the election. Didn't she know what she dealing with, guess not. Trump family is nothing but trash.
I do however wish that Queen Elizabeth would have taken her subjects wishes into consideration and not have them for a state visit. After all, they are ones that keep her in that position.
