The Queen’s reaction to seeing images of herself walking next to Donald Trump has been revealed.
Friend of Prince Philip, Gyles Brandreth, claimed that instead of being offended by Trump’s gaffe, she was amused.
Donald Trump was welcomed by Queen Elizabeth to Windsor Castle as the official part of his visit to the UK drew to a close.
The Queen was not offended by the faux pas according to friend of Prince Philip, Gyles Brandreth. Chris Jackson Her Majesty greeted the then US leader and First Lady Melania Trump in the quadrangle of the royal residence.
Mr Trump spoke of his admiration for the Queen in an interview with the Sun ahead of the encounter, in which he called her a “tremendous woman”.
However, as the Queen accompanied Mr Trump along the quadrangle where the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards were waiting, he accidentally broke royal protocol, walking ahead of Her Majesty.
The Queen was forced to walk around him instead.
Royal protocol determines that people must always stand when the King or Queen enter the room, curtsy or bow, and never turn their backs on them.
In an upcoming biography, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, it is revealed that the Queen was not offended by the faux pas and instead found it funny.
An excerpt published by the MailOnline claims: “Far from being offended, she was amused.
“And that night, when the Queen saw herself on television, bobbing about behind him, she laughed out loud.”
Her Majesty greeted the then US leader and First Lady Melania Trump in the quadrangle of the royal residence. Ben Stansall Last week, Gyles Brandreth claimed in the same book that during the final year of her life, the Queen battled with a painful cancer which killed her.
Queen Elizabeth officially died on September 8 from "old age", according to her death certificate.
Mr Brandreth wrote: "I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma - bone marrow cancer - which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about.”
Screw ‘royal protocol’!
She was just a person, born to a line of conmen.
We used to get the paper flowers, and lots of other Asian traditional crafts, from the five-and-dime, and then from Pier One back in the 70s-80s before they went all ‘upscale’ and fashionable. I remember being enchanted with a basket I bought that had a very long, black hair accidentally woven into it...
(I’ve knitted or crocheted my own hair accidentally into projects, so it gave me a personal connection to the person who made the basket.)
I really miss the old Japanese glass wind chimes. The glass didn’t have holes drilled in, the strings were just glued on with foil paper dots. This made them sound really magical, but most people making them today drill the glass, and they sound dull and not the same...
Trump is actually of Viking descent. Thats where that clan comes from.
And Longshanks was from Viking descent. Thats what the Normans were.
As for Anjou? They are of the devil.
“From the devil we came and to the devil we will go.” Richard the 1st.
The Isle of Lewis?
Moochelle put her hands on the Queen. That is forbidden.
Both, Harris and Lewis.
That clan descends from the Vikings.
Very few clans are true Scotty Irish.
Sinclair is French, As are Stuarts, Bruce..etc.
If you’ve ever been over there along the shores, you would see why something like that could happen.
Not much of Scotland could be called beach.
Oh, I am sorry I never got to experience the old wind chimes. They do sound magical. And the single hair woven into the basket — mystery basket-weaving woman on the other side of the world. I can understand your enchantment.
I tried Japanese gift wrapping for gifts that had to mailed last year. I just used Dollar Tree paper, though. It was fun. And they came out pretty cool, no bows to get smushed. Lots of videos on the You Tubes. I’d love to try it with the Japanese papers.
I don’t go to raise tents in Mecca. I don’t go to sing Our Fathers and Hail Marys at the tomb of Muhammad. I don’t go to pee on the marble of their mosques, I don’t go to make caca at the feet of their minarets. When I find myself in their countries (something I never derive pleasure from), I never forget I’m a stranger and a guest. I’m careful not to offend them with clothes or gestures or behavior which for us are normal and for them inadmissible.ML/NJOriana Falacci
Lots of Viking DNA scattered about the British Isles. And yes, the Normans were Northmen. That clever Viking Rollo the Ganger (walker) conned poor Charles the Simple out of what is now called Normandy, and there ya go.
But the Normans could be devils, too. The Daddy of William the Conquerer (illegitimate and therefore formerly known as William the B-word) was none other than Robert the Devil.
“was none other than Robert the Devil.”
William the Bastard-I aint woke.
BTW. Willaim’s sister was also illegitimate.
As far as the devil part. The usual legend spread that the wife of the former noble flew out the church window during Mass.
I know. My family descends from them and much of the nobility including the Rurik dynasty.
Royal protocol determines that people must always stand when the King or Queen enter the room, curtsy or bow, and never turn their backs on them.
Nah. Walking in front of her in her country is perhaps a bit rude, but walking behind her is inappropriate as well.
Little British kids learn all of this at a very young age
Yes lol, my wife is always telling me to slow my walking pace.
Mine, too. That’s how I learned more about them. Most of us whose ancestors came here in Colonial times can trace our ancestry back to royalty. We’re all cousins! Amazing how many times Isabel de Vermandois appears in my family tree. Very prolific lady. I bet you may have her in yours several times, too.
Besides Robert the Devil and Bill the B-word*, some of my faves name-wise are Dangeruese and Bertha Broadfoot. Dangereuse must have been way up there on the crazy-hot matrix. She was Grandma Eleanor’s grandmother. And it seems Eleanor of Aquitaine herself had a lot of Dangereuse in her.
I got my Rurik Dynasty forebears by way of a Swedish princess who married one of the Bourbons (?) I think. Anyway, it seems this guy thought they were becoming too inbred and sought out the little Swedish gal for new blood. Or so he claimed. Maybe she was just hot.
Nice to meet you, Cuz!
*I’m not woke either, just trying to follow JimRob’s rules.
That is so very cruel.
And funny as all get out!
a good, soft-spoken, salt-of-the-earth, yet dignified person.
A rare breed, to be respected and appreciated.
Who defines "correctly". You? (Maybe Jamestown1630 is a clue.)
Some international governing body? An obscure ancient cuneiform text or Egyptian papyrus?
Is there an unknown 11th Commandment?
Is there a revision of the Sermon on the Mount "Blessed is he that spooneth away from himself and woe upon him that drags to himself. He that ploppeth his spoon straight down an slurpeth therefrom shall not escapeth hellfire.
I was taken to lunch in South Korea by my hosts. (CLUE: Not a suit in the bunch.) No one besides me spoke English. Lunch was a bowl of rice' a bowl of soup (broth really) and a communal dish of kimchi. They spoke to the waitress while smiling bigly.
When she brought the "silverware" (chopsticks) to the table she presented me with a child's hello kitty spork. All eyes were upon me as I accepted the spork with both hands and a gracious nod.
That was all it took to earn their respect for the duration of my stay.
BTW They actually picked up their bowls and drank from them.
Sorry to present you with the horror. Hope you can sleep tonight.
