Identify: Impolite Trump.
Age: The previous US president, Donald Trump, met the late Queen Elizabeth II on a few events: tea at Windsor Citadel in 2018 …
The Tyrant Who Got here to Tea. Melania got here, too. After which the next 12 months at Buckingham Palace throughout a state go to.
I keep in mind. He loved it, no? His former Russia adviser Fiona Hill wrote in her White Home memoir that he thought-about a “assembly with the Queen of England was the last word signal that he … had made it in life.” And paying tribute to the Queen when she died, Trump himself wrote that he would always remember her “beneficiant friendship, nice knowledge and great sense of humour”.
Yeah, like he would know something about that! Anyway, was it mutual, this admiration and respect? Er, not a lot, in line with Craig Brown’s new biography, A Voyage Across the Queen, now being serialised within the Day by day Mail.
Which says? That she discovered Trump “very impolite”.
No approach! Trump impolite? Yeah, I do know, however you may need anticipated him to behave for the Queen of all individuals.
She will need to have hosted a number of controversial leaders throughout her reign? Putin, Assad, Mugabe, Amin. “She might not have discovered their firm convivial; upon their departure, she might even have voiced a discreet phrase of disapproval,” wrote Brown.
And of all of the leaders it was Trump who she discovered impolite! Was it one thing to do with royal protocol? Nicely, he did break that, by strolling in entrance of the monarch after they inspected a guard of honour.
Most likely broke wind too, Trump by identify … If he did that’s not coated within the guide. What the Queen is alleged to have “notably disliked” was the best way the previous president “couldn’t cease wanting over her shoulder, as if looking for others extra fascinating”.
Extra fascinating than the precise Queen! Nicely, fairly. Plus, she additionally “believed Trump ‘will need to have some type of association’ along with his spouse, Melania, or else why would she have remained married to him?”
Queen Elizabeth II, she definitely spoke for her individuals. She definitely did.
Do say: [In the voice of King Charles] “Tea, President Harris?”
Don’t say: [As above] “Oh God, it’s you once more.”
