On Friday, July 13, the American president
met Donald Trump 72 years, and the first lady
Melania Trump 48-year-old Queen Elizabeth II, 92, at Windsor Castle. The queen traditionally invited tea. Previously, a guard of honor to greet the couple had given a "royal salute" and played the American national anthem. But why should the Queen alone welcome her guests from overseas?
Where were Prince Charles and Prince William?
Her husband
Prince Philip 97, would not be there. He retired in August 2017 and rarely participates in public meetings. But where were the British heir
Prince Charles 69 years old, and his son
Prince William 36? The British Sunday Times newspaper reports that father and son had no desire to meet the US President during his trip to the UK.
"They simply refused"
"That Prince Charles and Prince William join Trump's visit was not present, is a snub," said the newspaper's source. "They simply refused to attend, which is very, very unusual for the Queen to be left alone."
However, the Sunday Times also quotes sources from the British government and Buckingham Palace who claim that it was not a state visit and that, from the outset, only the presence of the Queen had been planned. Prince Charles and Prince William were bound to other dates. We do not know why they did not really join the visit. But one thing is certain: the 92-year-old has mastered the encounter with the Trumps even without support – unlike Donald Trump.
