President Trump met with the queen of England today and committed several protocol gaffes that left many feeling that his behavior was an insult to Britain and lacked the respect that should be shown the monarch and if not a monarch, a 92-year-old woman.
The president was soundly condemned on social media for walking in front of Queen Elizabeth as they inspected a guard of honor of the Coldstream Guards. The queen was forced to bob and weave as she caught up to walk alongside him.
Trump did appear to notice, and in the video below youll see that as she catches up with him, she gives the tiniest gesture with her hand, signaling to him to continue walking.
Earlier, the president and first lady Melania Trump defied protocol when they greeted the queen: They did not bow or curtsy, but instead opted to simply shake hands. It is not obligatory to bow, as Americans are not her subjects, but doing so is widely considered good manners.

Prez of the USA bows to no earthly being.
No Chuck won’t do as well, and btw, where is he and his spawn? Conveniently off the island? I haven’t been paying a lot of attention (working) but I haven’t heard much about them.
In that last picture...
Is that Brit female accusing PDT of being an Irish Protestant? Isn’t that now considered ‘hate speech’ in Jolly Old? Aren’t any disparaging remarks about ones looks, race etc taboo?
From look on her face she is ‘enjoying’ her 15 min of fame.
I don’t ever want to see an American president bow to someone ever again the way Obama bowed to Saudi Arabia, Japan, and China.
Yup, Yahoo is a liberal outfit. Why anyone has anything (like an email address) to do with that outfit is beyond me.
He gave her and her husband perpetual carte blanche in Trump Hotels every where in the world
And the Brits want us to respect their leader????
the “walking in front of the queen” misstep is BS. The queen clearly put her arm out indicating for him to go before her. Tanya is just looking for things to be upset about. More BS and fake news
Nope. And Melania didnt wear an ugly cardigan sweater to meet the queen either.
Our Melania is the one who looks like royalty. Could she be anymore dignified and elegant?
Smart move by the President yo have our First Lady accompany him.
I wonder if there is some kind of etiquette that Tanya can share with the demonstrators/rioters that are probably invited to her teas.
Because I am so impressed that Tanya caught all those “gaffes” that are important to those Finishing School graduates.
This is bullcrap. They only show part of the video. I watched the whole thing, and she motioned for him to get in front of her!!!

I saw it as you did.
"But she doesn't have a lot to say....."
I wonder if the queen still has that iPod. I wonder if she ever listened to it. It really was an odd gift to bring to her.
It’s also why we don’t dip our flag for the Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
Exactly
No, scroll down and read the Comments section.
That’s as big of an insult as the American athletes not giving the Nazi salute to Hitler at the Berlin Olympics.
Not a peep from this same Media when Odunga was bowing to Saudi Kings.
