I remember a picture and video of President Trump walking ahead of the Queen. I don’t believe he did it out of disrespect.

I also recall how the libtards were absolutely aghast that he had done so. They were practically calling for him to be shot.

(Then again, the libtards are always calling for him to be shot.)

People were aghast over something Michelle Obama did..dont remember what...but I think the Queen takes it in stride and it not offended. She seems to have gotten along well with Obamas.

Although striding in front of The Queen in front of the military might be more of a breach than whatever Michelle did

In terms of protocol, President Trump did nothing inappropriate in walking in front of the Queen, and I am sure it was just a result of him having much longer legs than she did.

British protocol treats the President of the United States as the King of a friendly nation (it’s an old protocol and hasn’t fully come to terms with republicanism).

And, once again, there is a fundamental principle that offence is only taken if it is intended. The Queen would not have been offended by this, even if he had made a minor gaffe.
