Queen Emma in Washington, DC

edit

Queen Emma of Hawaii was received at an evening reception at the White House on August 14, 1866. On August 16, 1866, she was given a "state dinner" at William H. Seward House with Seward, Johnson and the cabinet in attendance. Does this count as preceding Kalakaua's 1874 state dinner? Only caveat is that the dinner itself never took place in the White House, and Queen Emma was not a reigning monarch or an incumbent consort at the time of the visit.

Edward VII when he was Prince of Wales visited the White House in 1860 under James Buchanan and also had what was described as a state dinner. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:05, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Another earlier royal visit: Prince Alexander Liholiho and Prince Lot Kapuaiwa (future Kamehameha IV and V) paid a courtesy call on President Zachary Taylor at the White House on May 30, 1850. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:47, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Queen Emma also attended a “state dinner” or “social call” at the White House on August 19 where Johnson, the First Lady and their daughter Martha Johnson Patterson was present.KAVEBEAR (talk) 01:37, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
