Windsor, England (CNN) — Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump met Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle Friday evening, a regal conclusion to the official portion of the US President's visit to the United Kingdom.
The Trumps entered the castle's Quadrangle by Range Rover after arriving on the castle grounds by helicopter. They arrived at the dais at 5:00 p.m. local time, where they were greeted by the Queen. The President wore a suit and tie and the first lady wore a pale pink Dior suit with matching skirt and black belt.
The Queen, 92, stood at the dais as she awaited the Trumps, who each shook her hand. She was dressed in a royal blue suit with matching hat and signature black handbag and white gloves. She was accompanied by Lt. Col. Sir Andrew Ford, comptroller of Lord Chamberlain's Office.
The President and first lady stood with their hands on the hearts as the band of the Coldstream Guards played the US National Anthem, the Queen solemnly standing with her hands clasped and head bowed.
Next, the President and Queen inspected the front rank of the Guard of Honour, while the first lady remained on the dais. The Queen appeared to briefly herd the President, gesturing for him to walk, the President mindful of royal protocol. Trump and the Queen then returned to the dais.
The Queen chatted with the Trumps as planes were heard overhead. The trio watched as the Coldstream Guards marched past the dais in perfect formation and the military band played before they entered the Sovereign's Entrance of Windsor Castle for tea precisely 10 minutes after their arrival.

F’ing Kraut.
IIRC, American’s troubles didn’t start until George II, the first true *Kraut* to rule the British throne, ascended.

Do you think he gave her an unplayable DVD of his speeches like Barky did?
Malania has chosen some wonderful appropriate gifts
Wonder what was chosen this time.
When they announced he was going to meet the Queen Of England, I thought they meant Elton John.
1. George I, Elector of Hanover, was invited in in 1714. His son was George II.
2. At this point the German blood has been a good deal diluted. Victoria started it all over again by marrying Albert, and then Queen Mary was mostly German -- but QEII's mother was 100% British - half Scottish and closely related to the Iron Duke.
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she doesn’t have a lot to say.
Well played, both of you!
What a hot, gorgeous woman !
Melania’s not bad either.
Uncle John Trump helped the Brits during WWII with their radar. IIRC he was even given an award for it. Wonder if he ever met Elizabeth?
I remember Trump writing his mother watching QEII’s coronation in “Art of the Deal”. That must add to the significance of meeting with her as POTUS all these years later.
Queen Elizabeth is the ONLY World Leader alive today who served in World War II.
THE ONLY ONE.
Ping to First Lady Melania's List.
Elzizabeth II maybe Queen of the Commonwealth.
We have:
Praetor Maximus Princeps Donaldus Nova Eboracum
Augusta Aeliana Melania Noricum
(Great First Citizen and Leader Donald of New York) (Venerable of the Sun Melania of Slovenia)
(Eboracum was the Roman name for York) (Noricum was the Roman name for Slovenia )
Whenever I chuckle at the Nork military’s goofy hats, I forget about the Brit Honor Guards. Traditional but still odd.
LOL!
