Consolation prize: Donald Trump invited to Queen's memorial service in Washington DC after funeral snub
WISCONSIN AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump has been sent an invitation to the Queen’s memorial service at Washington National Cathedral next Wednesday, September 21, after he was not invited to the Queen’s funeral in the United Kingdom. All five of President Joe Biden's living predecessors, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter were sent invitations for the special ceremony scheduled to be held at the Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday, September 21 in collaboration with the British Embassy.
According to Daily Mail, only the current US President Joe Biden was invited to Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19. Due to capacity restrictions, none of the previous US Presidents were invited to the service. A British embassy spokesperson told DailyMail, “We are following convention as you’d expect and have invited all former Presidents as well as President and Dr Biden and other members of the Administration.”
