President Bill Clinton reportedly turned down tea with Queen Elizabeth during his first official visit to the UK in 1997 — because he wanted to “be a tourist” and try out an Indian restaurant.
Buckingham Palace told the office of Prime Minister Tony Blair that “HM the Queen would be very pleased” to invite the Clintons to tea on their visit from summits in Paris and The Hague, the Guardian reported, citing formerly classified documents.
But Downing Street private secretary Philip Barton replied: “The Americans said that the president and Mrs. Clinton were very grateful for HM The Queen’s invitation to tea at the palace, but would wish to decline politely.”

Well, frankly, I can understand this.
Bill actually showed some class here.
Bubba was certainly not worthy of Tea with the Queen. And everyone knew it.
It’s probably a good thing they declined...we wouldn’t want any kind of diplomatic incident to arise over missing silverware.

Wow!
You just don’t turn down the queen’s invitation, and if you do, you had better have a better excuse then that.
Personally, I’d be nervous about etiquette and protocols, but I’m sure as President I’d have some advisors who could assist.
At first blush it looks like blatant arrogance and disrespect, but somehow I wonder if it’s a cover. There must be some other reason for declining.
The “Clintons” were always Hillary, unless it was Bill biting some poor woman’s lip.
I can easily see the Hildabeast declining this. What would she get out of it? Trailer park trash in Buckingham Palace.
Damn you, Monkey Poo
I saw various reports that Elizabeth Hurley had sex with Clinton.
I have never been able to look at her in the same way again.
Because HM the Queen wasn’t hittable.
Definitely looked like she slipped on a stray turd. A common occurrence in India, I would imagine.
I wouldn’t have tea with her either,since she was mean to Princess Di, but either way BC is an utter buffoon.

One year into his second term. Must’ve had a long list of things to do before he got around to the Queen.
I’d hope Liz would belt him with her handbag or something heavier.

Most people are
Heard Pat Boone on the radio last night talking about meeting the Queen twice. She surprised him when she told him that they’d met before. He knew it but he didn’t know that she’d remember or that she’d bring it up.
I’d drink tea with Queen Liz as long as I brew my own light on the sugar blend.
If she did , she had a very , very low opinion of herself. To go with a bastard that even his wife would not allow him to father her child. She choose Webster Hubbell.
They're looking for a story to get them back in the news.
“There must be some other reason for declining.”
I think they’re just trash who didn’t know any better.
“To go with a bastard that even his wife would not allow him to father her child. She choose Webster Hubbell.”
When that Negro kid tried to claim paternity, Beelzebubba claimed to be infertile.
