Trump's children make play for royal treatment - CNN
Queen Elizabeth II formally invited just President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump to travel to London for an official State Banquet at Buckingham Palace. But the event became more of an extended family affair, with Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and his wife Lara, and Tiffany Trump all joining the exclusive party.
The President's 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. Her husband, Jared Kushner, is also part of the United States delegation attending the ceremonial events.
For the President, bringing his adult children, in his view, is akin to showcasing his version of royalty. In an interview ahead of the trip with the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, Trump said he wanted Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Tiffany to hold a "next generation" meeting with the Prince William and his wife, Kate, and Prince Harry.
"I think my children will be meeting them," said Trump. "It would be nice."
Though they mingled at the State Banquet, there were no plans for a sit-down meeting, a royal source told CNN International correspondent Max Foster.
A family affair
Trump's business has always been a family affair: He became a New York real estate magnate with the help of a loan from his father, Fred Trump, his then-wife Ivana Trump worked with him while they were married, and Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric all joined the Trump Organization when they came of age. But the family Trump is a far cry from the American political dynasties of the past -- the Kennedys, the Bushes. Further, a vision of the President's children as America's equivalence to the Royal Family is at odds with everything Trump's brand as a status quo disruptor.
Trump ran in the 2016 presidential race promising to "drain the swamp" and railing against political establishment at every turn, particularly his GOP primary rival Jeb Bush, the brother of one American president and son of another.
But since taking office, he elevated his daughter and son-in-law to two of the highest-ranking appointments inside the West Wing. He even suggested that she could hold public office herself after he leaves office.
"If she ever wanted to run for president," the President said this year, "I think she'd be very, very hard to beat."
But that his daughter hasn't expressed any interest in running to him. For now, she continues her work on largely noncontroversial West Wing portfolio and style herself as a diplomat on the world stage. On Tuesday, she is expected to appear alongside her father at a business roundtable and bilateral meetings with Prime Minister Theresa May as part of the official US delegation.
Separate lives
The full complement of Trump's adult children, while present at the odd family event or holiday at Trump's homes in Palm Beach and Bedminster, are a relatively scarce presence at the White House.
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump live in New York City, where they assumed control of the family real estate business, though Don Jr. now spends a significant amount of time traveling the country to attend events, rallying and fundraising for the 2020 campaign season alongside girlfriend and campaign senior adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Tiffany Trump, the only child of Trump's marriage to second wife, Marla Maples, is about to begin her third year at Georgetown University Law School in Washington where she lives off-campus in a downtown apartment. Tiffany has spent part of her summer break in Europe, attending swanky events in Cannes, France, during the fabled film festival, posting photos from a yacht anchored in the Mediterranean, and this week back in London, where her boyfriend is said to live.
Ivanka Trump was in town ahead of her father's arrival, too, posting on her Instagram account a visit to the Albert & Victoria museum to see the sold-out Christian Dior exhibition. As a member of the delegation, she joined other high-level staffers on a Buckingham Palace balcony for the formal arrival ceremony as her father inspected British troops.

What to get a queen? Inside the Trumps' gifts for Royals - CNN
The process requires thought, attention to detail, coordination with the State Department, and adhering to the highest levels of protocol, and it appears they delivered. Finding the best gifts can be complex -- it should be personal and most nod to some sort of historical touchstone between the two countries, or the gifter and the receiver.
The Trumps came bearing a Tiffany & Co. silver and silk poppy brooch in a custom White House wood jewelry box in a red leather box for Queen Elizabeth II, according to the White House.
For her husband, Prince Philip, they brought a personalized Air Force One jacket and signed autobiography by American General and famed World War II air commander James Doolittle, "I Could Never Be So Lucky Again."
Though Prince Philip left active duty naval service when he married then-Princess Elizabeth, he holds a number of military appointments, including as Marshal of the Royal Air Force.
The first lady was "very involved with the gift selection," her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham said.
"Working with the State Department, Mrs. Trump takes great care in selecting meaningful gifts," she added.
Likewise, the Trumps were presented with thoughtful gifts of their own in keeping with longstanding tradition.
For the President, the Queen gifted a 1959 first edition copy of Winston Churchill's "The Second World War" bound in full crimson goatskin with gold tooling and a three-piece Duofold pen set.
Trump has a known affinity for Churchill; in one of his first notable acts as President, he restored the bust of Winston Churchill, which had been moved during the Obama administration, to the Oval Office.
For the first lady, a specially commissioned silver box with a handcrafted enamel lid.

Trump to Meet May in London: Live Updates - The New York Times

Here’s what you need to know:
On Day 2, President Trump gets to work.
Mr. Trump arrived in Britain on Monday for a welcome full of pageantry: an 82-gun salute at Buckingham Palace, a look at a collection of gifts with Queen Elizabeth II and a lavish banquet with members of the royal family.
On Tuesday, Mr. Trump’s schedule contains less pomp and more work.
He attended a business round table at St. James’s Palace in the morning, and was later due to meet with Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain at her office at 10 Downing Street. Mr. Trump and Mrs. May are then scheduled to hold a joint news conference, and in the evening there will be a reception at the American ambassador’s residence.
Mr. Trump and Mrs. May are expected to discuss issues of security and trade, especially in the context of Brexit: Britain has hoped to strike a bilateral trade deal with the United States. It remains unclear what progress the two leaders might make, however, since Mrs. May is in the last days of her tenure in office, having agreed to step down as the leader of the Conservative Party after failing for almost three years to deliver Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.
The president has criticized Mrs. May’s approach to Brexit before, and he has repeatedly praised the leading candidate to replace her, Boris Johnson. Before arriving in London, Mr. Trump suggested that he might meet with Mr. Johnson, the former foreign minister, calling him “a friend of mine.” He also suggested that he might meet with Nigel Farage, the leader of a pro-Brexit party.
“They’re two very good guys, very interesting people,” Mr. Trump told reporters last week.
Mr. Trump sees potential for a “substantial trade deal.”
President Trump attended a business roundtable at St. James’s Palace, alongside Prime Minister Theresa May, business leaders from both countries, and his daughter Ivanka Trump.
At the start of the meeting, Mr. Trump praised Mrs. May and insisted that Britain and the United States would come to an agreement on trade.
Mr. Trump said that Britain is the biggest trade partner that the United States has, a fact he then claimed many people do not know.
“I think we’ll have a very substantial trade deal,” Mr. Trump said.
Speaking to Mrs. May, who was seated across from him, he said, to laughter, “I don’t know exactly what your timing is, but stick around let’s do this deal.”
But the reality of negotiating such a deal is much more complicated, with the future leader of Britain still unclear and the practicalities of the country’s withdrawal from the European Union still unsettled. Mrs. May is due to step down as the leader of her Conservative Party just days after Mr. Trump’s visit ends.
Brexit supporters see a potential trade deal with the United States as one of the prizes of a complete break with the European Union, but such a pact could be contentious. Some worry that letting in American products would force Britain to lower its food and agricultural standards.
The possibility of chlorine-washed chickens from the United States has emerged as a symbol of British concerns about a post-Brexit trade deal.

Protesters have vowed to bring London to a standstill.
A giant orange balloon of President Trump, depicted as a scowling baby wearing a diaper, was released over Parliament Square in London on Tuesday, kicking off a day of demonstrations against the president’s state visit.
The same large balloon was the focal point of protests that broke out during Mr. Trump’s working visit last July, his first trip to Britain in office.
Mr. Trump is unpopular around Britain, and especially in London. He has feuded with the city’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, since 2016 over immigration, terrorism and other issues, and on Monday he belittled the mayor again, accusing him of being “nasty” and mocking his stature.
Large crowds of protesters, potentially numbering in the tens of thousands, are expected to gather in central London at 11 a.m. and march toward Downing Street, where Mr. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Theresa May and hold a news conference.
The demonstrators have vowed to disrupt every stage of Mr. Trump’s visit by bringing central London to a standstill. Last year Mr. Trump largely avoided London and the protests that erupted there.
“We are coming out in bigger numbers this time to deliver our message loud and clear,” said Amy Hunter, a protester and member of the Stop Trump campaign. “Trump and his racist, divisive policies are not welcome in our country.”
Mr. Trump and Mrs. May are expected to discuss Huawei and China.
When Prime Minister Theresa May and President Trump meet on Tuesday, they are widely expected to discuss Huawei, the Chinese company whose 5G technology has been the subject of warnings from Washington to its allies about what it considers to be serious security risks.
Britain’s foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, seemed to expect as much during an interview with the BBC on Monday. As he was waiting for Air Force One to land, Mr. Hunt said he and others were sensitive to Washington’s concerns. “We take careful notice of everything the U.S. says on these issues,” he said.
The Pentagon and American intelligence officials have warned allies that Huawei, which has been lobbying to build the next-generation network, could intercept or secretly divert secure messages to China. They have also warned that Huawei, because of the relationship between the authorities and businesses in China, could be ordered to shut down the networks during any conflict.
Last month, the Trump administration placed the company and dozens of affiliates on a list of firms deemed a risk to national security, a move that prevents it from buying American parts or technologies without first receiving approval from the United States government.
It also issued a separate order barring American telecom companies from using foreign-made equipment that could pose a threat to national security. Without naming Huawei, it meant Huawei.
Mr. Hunt was giving no hint about which way Britain would go. “We haven’t made our final decision,” he said. “But we have also made it clear that we are considering both the technical issues — how you make sure there isn’t a backdoor so that a third country could use 5G to spy on us — but also the strategic issues so that you make sure that you are not technologically overdependent on a third country for absolutely vital technology.”
