I think HRH was just early, she prob can't wait to get shot of him. She has my Meeting The In-laws expression.

Laiste · 13/07/2018 17:05

No bow or curtsy.

Not surprised.

EachandEveryone · 13/07/2018 17:05

Sky news i dont know why im watching really.

InsomniacAnonymous · 13/07/2018 17:05

She's HM, not HRH Agent Hannah

Mqriejonea · 13/07/2018 17:06

I wonder if BBC news were telling the truth? It seems unlikely she would want to just stand around for 10 mins looking awkward, bored and at the floor.

Bbc news channel here. He's so awful

Velvete · 13/07/2018 17:07

He arrived exactly on time didn't he? Thought he was supposed to be there at 5pm?

Peachydream · 13/07/2018 17:07

Just watching .....willing the Guard walking behind to give Trump a poke up the arse with his sword.

Mqriejonea · 13/07/2018 17:08

Melania looks like she'd rather be anywhere but there

I wonder what they are saying. 'Oh do fuck off donald to the far side of fuck and when you get there fuck off some more.

Mqriejonea · 13/07/2018 17:08

I wonder if trump's people said he was 10 mins early to make her wait?

She looked like she was breathing heavily after that march round the square. He marched off without her at the beginning!

Mqriejonea · 13/07/2018 17:10

She's holding her handbag in the right arm so he doesn't grab it, then switched arms after down the stairs Grin

Singlenotsingle his mind is fucking mush! He says things and then denies them five minutes later. How... refreshing?
Rude bastard living a 92 year old waiting.

MissMarplesKnitting · 13/07/2018 17:13

Disrespectful. Not bowing. Or curtseying. Ugh.

MeanTangerine · 13/07/2018 17:15

I do think he's an unmitigated arse, but does the head of state of one country bow to another? She's not his Queen.

Laiste · 13/07/2018 17:15

That was a weird rushed affair wasn't it?

I imagine everyone wanted it over with sharpish, but blimey ...

NewYearNewMe18 · 13/07/2018 17:15

Non Commonwealth over seas nationals aren't obliged to bow or curtsey

Mqriejonea · 13/07/2018 17:17

Did Obama bow?

Megan did

I'm sure I read somewhere that shifting her handbag to the other arm is code for not wanting to talk to someone any more.

Laiste · 13/07/2018 17:17

Re: the bow, walking in front of the Queen ect;

I guess he doesn't HAVE to do anything. We don't chop heads of anymore ... however with a diplomatic visit the clue is in the name, it would have been good diplomacy to do a simple bow and slow down for the old girl!

I'm no royalist by any means. But he comes over as simply an arse of a man.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/07/2018 17:18

Rightly or wrongly and flame me if you do so wish. I give a shitty not but
I'm laughing at the cheek and the I don't give a fuckiness of him. Grin

blacksax · 13/07/2018 17:19

That man is a dangerous megalomaniac and this is a world-class social faux pas.
Nobody keeps the Queen waiting. If I were her, I'd be sending him off to the Tower, for an impromptu tour of the dungeons.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/07/2018 17:20

HM is an incredible diplomat. Talk about taking one for the team. Arrogant trump blimp. Can’t believe he didn’t bow, or Melania didn’t curtesy. Obama did

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/07/2018 17:20

I was watching that Coldstream guards major with his nice shiny sword and thinking.... if only
