The White House was transformed into a scene of diplomatic elegance and symbolism during the state dinner hosted by Donald Trump and Melania Trump in honor of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

The evening's atmosphere was dominated by shades of pink and decor inspired by English gardens, with cherry blossoms and spring elements creating a ceremonial atmosphere.

During the dinner, the American president and the British monarch exchanged toasts, emphasizing the strong relationship and shared history between the United States and the United Kingdom.

In his speech, Trump described the relationship as one of the most special friendships in the world, toasting the 250th anniversary of American independence and King Charles, whom he described as a respected leader. The British monarch also brought a touch of humor, calling the dinner a marked improvement over the Boston Tea Party, and presenting the president with a symbolic bell from a historic British submarine.

The evening's menu was as refined as the decor, including dishes prepared with ingredients from the White House garden and a special chocolate honeycomb dessert. The organization of the dinner was led by the first lady, who also took care of the aesthetic and protocol details.

The guest list included over 100 personalities from politics, business and media. Among them were well-known figures such as Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook and designer Ralph Lauren, as well as judges of the US Supreme Court.

The dress code was "white tie," the most formal for such events. Melania Trump appeared in a pale pink dress by Christian Dior, while Queen Camilla chose an elegant hot pink creation, accompanied by historical jewelry.
