knows the protocol. This is a state event, and the British have rules for how these things are done.

Yes, the Obamas are private citizens and Harry's personal friends. But trump is a head of state, even if he is widely hated. I think 45 might be better off sending Pence, if his ego will allow it. That is one of the things Vice Presidents do.
