On Friday, July 13, President Donald Trump will meet Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom. This highly anticipated meeting is part of Trump's first official visit to the British nation as president. But while it is confirmed that the former reality show host must meet the Queen, the question of whether Trump will meet Prince William and Kate Middleton is a little higher up in the air.
A statement obtained by Kensington Palace's Politico Playbook details Trump's visit with Queen Elizabeth – whose first lady Melania Trump will join him – and gives a decent overview of what to expect. Until now, this plan does not include meeting with other members of the royal family, such as Princes William and Harry or their respective spouses. Elite Daily reached out to the White House and Kensington Palace to get confirmation if the young members of the royal family had the opportunity to meet the president, but did not hear him at the time of the publication.
the first lady Melania Trump on stage in the Castle Quadrangle ", the palace declaration reads about the visit.After this reception, the guard of honor, consisting of Coldstream guards (members of the British Army), "will give a royal salvation", followed by the American national anthem.After the Honor Guard has made its salute and the anthem be played, Trump "inspect" them before going on a military march, and after pomp, President Trump "will join the Queen for tea with the First Lady."
Given this calendar, President Trump (and First Lady Melania) will not have time to meet other members of the Royal Family, such as Prince William and Kate, unless they decide to go ahead. to stop for tea, this is all the more true as Prince William and Kate do not live in Windsor Castle, so it would be a trip for them.
This is not really a hike that they would be quite willing to do for this president. As a public figure – before becoming president – Donald Trump made some pretty terrible comments about Kate Middleton. Oh, and do not worry, the comments are still kept on his Twitter feed, because of course they are. Back in 2012, an invasive photographer got photos of Kate topless in France. (In 2017, a judge ordered Closer a French magazine, to pay William and Kate 100,000 euros in damages for posting the photos.) Rather than condemning the invasive photographer, was in a private place.
"Kate Middleton is great – but she should not be tan naked – only herself to blame," he tweeted.
Perhaps not the best way to start a diplomatic relationship. ] But the other reason why I would not expect President Trump to meet Prince William and Kate is a precedent. When President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama met Queen Elizabeth in 2009, they did not meet the princes. Although Barack, Michelle and the princes spent most of their time (with some remarkable pictures to prove it), it did not happen until well after the Obamas first meeting with the queen.
As for Prince William and Kate, the Obamas met them well after their first meeting with the queen. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met the Obamas at Kensington Palace (not Windsor) in May 2011. They met again at Kensington Palace in 2016 (when Barack met a Prince George in a wedding dress). Prince Harry, meanwhile, hosted President Obama at Kensington Palace in May 2017 (and they still trailed in 2017 at the Invictus Games).
