Rupert Murdoch attends Windsor Castle dinner amid legal battle with Trump

President Donald Trump attended a royal banquet on Wednesday night at Windsor Castle during his second state visit to the UK.
This visit followed a joint guest list by the Royal Family and White House amid tensions including Trump's lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch over a contentious article.
The banquet hosted 160 guests including royals, US tech CEOs like Sam Altman and Jensen Huang, and Rupert Murdoch, who was seated far from Trump.
The 155-foot table was decorated with 139 candles and served a menu featuring watercress panna cotta starter and organic Norfolk chicken ballotine, with a 1945 Warre's port honoring Trump.
The visit aimed to strengthen UK-US ties and secure new trade and technology pacts amid tight security and public protests denouncing Trump.
