After a full day in Washington on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2005, the main event for Prince Charles and Camilla was the White House dinner - a black-tie affair in their honor attended by Washington's political, academic and business elite.

President George W. Bush has hosted only five formal White House dinners for world leaders since taking office in 2001.

About 130 people were expected for dinner in the State Dining Room on the White House's grand main floor.
