Given his past comments about seating arrangements as a measure of respect, it’s hard to imagine Trump taking the news lightly. Reports indicate that about 50 heads of state and 10 reigning monarchs will be present, with dignitaries expected to sit in a large block across from Catholic clergy.
Trump did not attend Queen Elizabeth’s funeral since only current heads of state were invited, but this time, even with an invitation, he won’t be in the spotlight he’s used to. Whether he chooses to accept the situation gracefully or sparks fresh controversy remains to be seen—but one thing is certain: all eyes will be watching his reaction.
