The royal banquet is one of the defining elements of an official visit to the United Kingdom. The queen personally inspected every detail of this lavish affair – from elaborate floral arrangements to folded tablecloths in the shape of a Dutch bonnet – according to a detailed report from the British News Agency (PA).
Dinner will be held on a horseshoe-shaped table in the palace ballroom. The Queen and Trump will sit at his head, alongside the first lady Melania, heir to the throne, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The menu has not yet been revealed, it will be served in historic dinners with six glbades, water, a champagne toast, red and white wines, a dessert wine and port, a announced PA.
Despite months of planning, the queen is a "fast eater," according to the report. Under the royal protocol, guests can not continue eating once the queen is over, which means they will not want to waste their time getting stuck.
That said, if Trump had to linger a little longer on his meal, no one would stop him because of his guest status.
The layout of the tables is a meticulously precise process. Each square is placed exactly 45 centimeters apart, each chair is equidistant from the table and the same is true for the hundreds of glbades perched on the table.
Around this, there will be 19 service stations – each with a page, a valet, a master builder and a wine master – who will use a fire system. signaling to coordinate the routes.
There is of course room for special dietary demands, the Prince of Wales preferring to prefer a bowl of olive oil to his butter with his bread. Not to mention the cushion that will be placed on his chair to relieve his back pain, said PA.
Alongside the royal guests, Trump's adult children, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump will attend the banquet. The other guests would have been invited because of their links with the United States.
Trump, like other male guests, will have to wear a white tie or national dress.
Under the glittering chandeliers, a string orchestra will play throughout the evening, but you'll have to watch 12 bagpipe players coming into the room – an unusual tradition introduced by Queen Victoria that means the banquet is over.
The queen will not attend but instead, Prince Charles and Camilla will do it. This event will have a dress code of black tie and will also require all the minute-by-minute planning of a state banquet.
