The King trailing behind Trump - a bit odd, no?

[fastingforweightloss]

Did something go wrong here? Surely that wasn't how that was meant to go?

Not in this country he isn’t.

I have a fondness for Camilla. I always think she seems quite jolly. I hope she takes Melania out for a bit of fun. Maybe hat shopping or something.

Camilla will take her out into the back garden with a bottle of gin and 20 Rothmans I expect.

Everyone is letting the ego maniac have his party.

We can do pageantary and pomp until he agrees not to bankrupt the country through tariffs or nuke the planet. Everyone knows he is an pompous brat who needs to be pampered and treated like midas or his fragile ego might be unleashed. Better this than having to make trade agreements.

We might get our own version if people vote for Farage. Imagine that.

That sounds better.
Melania always looks sad. She needs a bit of fun.

It's protocol for the visiting dignatory to take the lead when inspecting the troops. Just learnt this from Sky. Every day is a school day

Omg, really? What do you think Charles is (other than hugely privileged by the accident of birth)? I couldn't give a crap if he walks behind anyone.

Here is Obama marching ahead of the Duke of Edinburgh (the Queen was not able to do the walking that day).

So ill mannered!

Good for her. Why on earth would she?

I cringe when I see anyone curtsey, especially Kate who’s so terribly goody two shoes about it.

Yes, our royal family are selected by God unlike the President who was only selected by millions of Americans.

why would she??? serious question.

Totally. She does every single day that she sees her her own FIL. It just looks ridiculous. And then she gets loads of praise online for executing flawless curtsies in the ridiculously high heels she chooses to wear. Make me cringe so much.

Well, fuck that.

I have more dignity than to bow to anyone. What lickspittle forelock-tugger would bow to someone who got their ultimate nepo-job because their Mum had it?

I'm British and I wouldn't either - we are not required to, we're not subjects. I'm not bowing and scraping just because some toff thundered out of some other toff's cock. They can have a polite handshake like anyone else.

Why bow and scrape to them. They really aren’t better than anyone else.

First King Charles had him walk first. We are Americans we don't bow nor curtsy to anyone

Edit cause I quoted the wrong person

A bafoon?? Is that like a baboon with a speech impairment? (Although I suppose orangutan is a more appropriate colour for Trump.)

Nice try. Trump is clearly having an honour put around his neck, there. Hence he is bending down. Not bowing.

Melania looks to me like she has been lobotomised, either physically or chemically.
I wonder if that woman will ever get to tell her true story?

I wouldn't want to walk along with trump, hes at a high risk of someone taking him out with a bullet

She wore a pencil skirt. Had she curtsied, it would have ripped.

I'm absolutely not a fan of Trump, can't stand the man but he was invited to inspect the Guards or whatever they're called and Charles definitely stepped back.

F'king ooompaloompa - what a joke

American HofSs don’t come to coronations. Presumably they don’t bow or curtsey either. Quite right too. The only right thing about this whole pantomime. Although I did hear someone on the radio say that at least this way he’ll be contained and London won’t be disrupted. Which is a good point.
