Ivanka Trump accepted an honorary award on behalf of her late mother, Ivana, Friday in the Czech Republic.
Trump was joined by her brother Donald Trump Jr. on Independent Czechoslovak State Day to receive the first-grade Medal of Merit from Czech President Milos Zeman in Prague Castle.
Other awardees included tennis player Ivan Lendl, anti-Nazi resistance fighter Josef Masin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who won the country’s highest award, the Order of the White Lion.
“Born and raised in what was then Czechoslovakia, my mother grew up in Zlin, skied on the National Team and attended Charles University in Prague. Throughout her life she maintained a deep love and connection to the Czech Republic,” Ivanka wrote of the event on her Instagram. “I know that mom would have been extremely honored by the recognition, as were we to be here in Prague to receive it on her behalf.”

Ivana Trump died in July at the age of 73 as a result of blunt force injuries to her torso from a fall at her apartment, according to the New York City Chief Medical Examiner’s Office. She was former President Donald Trump’s first wife, and he was her second husband. They shared three children — Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric — before the pair divorced in 1992. She had lived in the United States since they met in 1976.
