The other three living former presidents – George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter – were also invited.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will be the only American delegates to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s official funeral in London on Monday, but other US dignitaries, including former US presidents, have been invited to attend a memorial service for the queen in Washington, D.C.
The five living former US presidents, including Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, have been invited to “A Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” co-sponsored by the British Embassy at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. next week.
“The Cathedral is honored to host a Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday 21 September, in collaboration with the British Embassy,” the National Cathedral said in a statement.
