Donald Trump's "crisp" walk with Queen Elizabeth attracts British anger

LONDON – It is usually quite difficult to outclbad the Queen of England, but President Donald Trump could have done it

Trump and Queen Elizabeth II met Friday as part of his working visit controversial in the United Kingdom. When the red carpet was deployed at Windsor Castle, thousands of people gathered at a "Stop Trump" rally in Trafalgar Square, London. A few hours earlier, an inflatable balloon representing the president as a big orange baby was flying in the air alongside the Houses of Parliament.

While Friday's protest and a series of sarcastic signs were causing a lot of turmoil, Trump walked with the Queen during an inspection. the guards quickly became a hot topic.

Described as "squeaky" and "uncomfortable" viewing on social media images of their walk together came under intense surveillance. While traversing the castle grounds, Trump maintained a relatively fast march, which sometimes saw the queen fall behind him as he led the game.

The British instantly became defensive of the queen, who had 92 years old this year. "Will Donald Trump just WALK BEFORE THE QUEEN?!?!?!" Asked a user clearly offended. "I hated how Trump dared to walk in front of the queen today," writes another.

At one point, the Queen may be seen making a gesture to Trump, although it is not clear exactly what she was referring to. On social networks, some speculated that Trump had been educated on which side of it he should walk.

If that was the case, the president did not seize the message.

Other online also discussed whether Trump and the first lady Melania Trump broke with the royal protocol when they chose to shake the queen's hand instead of bowing or doing the reverence. While some were unhappy, it's an optional move, and choosing not to do so does not break with the royal protocol. Although tilting is not an absolute rule, some consider it mandatory. Trump, who is known for his long, powerful and intense handshakes, worried a lot about what would happen when he met the oldest monarch in the world.

The Queen, whom we rarely see kissing others, is not known for its public manifestations of affection. She surprised many people in 2012 when she was seen placing an arm around Michelle Obama. Obama reciprocated and both remained armed for a short time

At the time, author Charles Mosley described the interaction as "staggering" and told CNN: "The big problem is that the queen is an almost sacred person. In monarchies, there is a sacred character that surrounds the ruler, which may not be known in republics.

In 1992, Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating was sharply criticized for getting his hands on the bottom of the monarch. The British newspapers of the time called it the "Oz Lizard" because of its rude behavior.

The Queen wore all the blue for Friday's meeting with Trumps and seemed to be in a good mood – despite the presidential eclipse.
