Princess Anne tasked with sitting next to Jared Kushner at State Banquet

The Princess Royal was seated next to President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, at the State Banquet held at Buckingham Palace on Monday evening.

Different members of The Royal Family were scattered across the room so a royal could be seated between every few guests.


"Tasked"...what an interesting choice of verbs.

who he was supposed to escort at the exhibit.

It has to be a real blow to their egos.

things nobody else is. Compare them to Meghan Markle-Mountbatten-Windsor who wears something novel and then things actually fly off the designers shelves. Again and again.

"Why me?"

I keep thinking of the scene in "Airplane!" when Ted drones on and on until his seatmate hangs herself.

The last time I saw the royal family look as sad and miserable as they did tonight was at either the Queen Mother or Diana’s funerals.

...purchasing a new set of stainless flatware for the auspicious occasion of Donald "Trailer Trash with Too Much Cash" Trump and his even-more-repulsive family. If the Trumps steal that...no probs, Tesco has more.
