Tiffany Trump makes rare appearance at royal state banquet in honour of her father

Tiffany Trump made a surprise front row appearance at the royal family's state banquet at Windsor Castle.

The event, in honour of her father, President Donald Trump, is taking place inside St George's Hall and is part of an historic state visit by the US President and First Lady Melania Trump.

Tiffany, 31, and her husband Michael Boulos, were among the official guests invited to take part in the royal procession.

Tiffany was partnered with Apple chief executive Tim Cook, while her husband was given the honour of accompanying the Princess of Wales, and entered St George's Hall well before his wife as part of a procession that started with King Charles and Trump.

Tiffany was assigned a spot in the line-up five places after her husband.

They were followed by Queen Camilla and Melania Trump, then the Prince of Wales and National Grid chair Paula Reynolds. Next was her husband and the Princess of Wales.

Tiffany entered the hall in the ninth grouping and was resplendent in a floor-length royal blue off-the-shoulder gown with sparkling embellishment, which she paired with black peep-toe platform shoes and what appeared to be a diamond necklace, bracelet and earrings.

She wore her blonde hair down and parted to one side.

Once inside St Georges Hall, Trump's youngest daughter was seated beside Mr Cook, who was just three seats away from the Princess of Wales, who was seated to the right of the president.

They enjoyed a feast of Hampshire watercress panna cotta, parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad, followed by organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes, with a thyme and savoury-infused jus and a dessert of vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior and lightly poached Victoria plums, all of which was washed down by an impressive wine list.

Trump is the first sitting US president to be invited by a British monarch for a second state visit.

His first state visit took place during his first term as president in June 2019 when King Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was monarch.

Tiffany Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump and his second wife Marla Maples, who were married from 1993 to 1999.

She had a prominent role in her father's first presidential campaign ahead of the 2016 election, which he won.

She again campaigned for her father in the lead up to the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, but took on a lesser role ahead of the 2024 election.

She married Lebanese-American business executive Michael Boulos in 2022 at a lavish ceremony at her father's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The couple welcomed their first child in May this year, announcing his arrival on Instagram, writing, "Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives!"
