As none of us, I believe.., can read Harry's mind anything is possible.
Let us for the sake of argument imagine that Harry really can't stand the sight of President Trump and that he deeply resents the Presidents because of his wife's opinion and for what the President said about her.
I cannot, I simply cannot imagine, a seasoned and professional royal as Harry letting that influence his behavior in something as important as a state visit.
The thought that he would make things awkward for his grandmother is even more remote from my mind.

So by that you claim Harry to be even more "seasoned and professional Royal" than his father, who has kept away a few yards away from BP in his London home Clarence House (I guess you will know the distance from CH to BP - you can reach it on foot in a couple of minutes) from the chinese state banquet?!:whistling:

Pinch of Salt indeed but that just proves my point! Government officials have always traveled with the President when traveling for official state visits. I seem to recall Madeline Albright went on a state visit with President Clinton to Mexico.

According to Richard Palmer, pinch of salt please, apparently the contingent travelling with The President on this occasion appears to be much smaller than those that have travelled with the Obamas and Bushes on previous occasions.

When the source isn't great, I look to other factors. In this case, it wouldn't surprise me as many positions in this administration remain vacant. For example, Mick Mulvaney is filling for two positions in addition to holding his permanent position, which is the Director of Office of Management and Budget. When you have situations where people are over stretched, there are fewer people that will travel to begin with. Then there is the people that simply cannot afford to leave the states and go as they can't drop whatever they have going on here.

I also think its a matter that a lot of Trump's senior staff have a more of a public persona than past administrations. Kellyanne Conway for example or Sarah Sanders.

And, he has 4 (out of 5) very public children as well.

If I recall, the Spanish brought one of the biggest delegations for a state visit in years. The DM felt it was being clever with some "Spanish Armada" headlines ?

??? No,not.Becaus Harry just became a dad and he and his wife have other things more important on their minds,their son Archie.There is paternity leave in Europe for dads too..!!And he did show up at the welcome.so what?
Nothing special to be sought after in his attending or not.it has been explained...but hey OK,todays web goes bezirk over nothing while important things are,well,twisted out of courtesy where others don't even know the ABC of courtesy.?...Such a funny world these days..

My comment wasn't critical of Harry.

It is a fact that the Queen's cousins have been supporting her in many ways for years and years. So the poster who said Harry was more important to attend the State Banquet because he is 6th in line for the throne than Princess Alexandra who is 53rd is wrong.

I'm not going to speculate about what and why Prince Charles did at the Chinese visit.
I will however point out that Prince Charles is in another position than Harry, in regards to "taking an individual stand."
Charles is the heir, and he has seniority in the job (with about 50 years or so service as an adult behind him) and he has a history for having an opinion, that is sometimes political and controversial.
Harry has none of the above.

Apologies if someone has already responded to you but I did wonder if it was Steven Mnuchin's wife Louise Linton??

The fact the Royals line up as they do has to do with the courtesy towards the guest to meet all of HM extended family,and they pop up at HM's request,and Her's alone..

What? Your comment has nothing to do with what I wrote. I said nothing about how they line up.

Yes, the Queen wants her cousins to attend and so they do. They have faithfully done so for 50 years or so. That is my point.

If she had felt strongly about Harry attending the Banquet, he would have also.

No one has responded yet, and I'm still curious to know who that lady was, especially for Duchess Kate to break the line to shake her hands.

I saw several responses here already, (maybe they got deleted for some reason?) and yes, it was Louise Linton--the wife of the man escorting Kate-Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin. Louise is a Scottish actress.

She is the Duchess of Cambridge or, if you want to be informal, Catherine or Kate. “Duchess Kate” is not the correct way to refer to her or any Duchess, I think that’s what was meant. I know it sets my teeth on edge as soon as I see it.

It appears so,they are representing HM. If i recall correctly only HM and Philip attend the similar dinner hosted by the Obamas.

Had expected more members of the RF as this is the case at return Events in other countries.
