The British Royal Family are really rolling out the red carpet for Donald Trump

You're a fucking idiot.

The BRF and the UK's "The Sun" tabloid rag:

"Kate shows Meghan how a REAL Princess acts with masterclass in hosting during Trump state visit"

They sure do love their FASCISTS!

Time to abolish them.

The modern world has no place for a monarchy OR fascists.

I think this is what is called "soft diplomacy." King Charles would not do this unless his Prime Minister and the government asked him to. or approved it. With Tariffs and Ukraine it's important to try to find some way to neutralize Trump if he doesn't cooperate. Putin is violating air space in Poland and Romania. We have already fucked up with India and they a re now cozying up to China big time. Trump is easy t o flatter and he loves the pomp and the carriage rides. Though WTF Stephen Miller is on this trip mystifies me. I get it. Rubio and the Treasury guy. But why Miller?

Kate looked happy as a pig in shit sitting next to that fascist. I have actually never seen as look as genuinely happy. She loves these two idiotic and horrible fascist. She is probably a Farage supporter. Her family certainly are.

To hell with Kate. Never liked her pick me attitude.

Plus, Trump's DoJ had the goods on Andrews financials..

Good lord OP, it all went right over your head, in the same manner it does with Donald as well.

Donald Trump has never been one to keep his feelings on people’s appearances a secret, and so the first thing he said when he greeted Princess Kate this morning shouldn’t come as a huge surprise.

Upon their arrival to the grounds of Windsor Castle, the U.S. president and first lady Melania were greeted by members of the royal family, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Following their descent from Air Force One, the American couple shook hands with the royals, where Trump got the opportunity to say hi to Kate personally—whom he last saw in 2019. As he addressed the princess, he said “You’re so beautiful, so beautiful,” according to reports from Hello! magazine and The Independent.

Then, when greeting Prince William, Trump reportedly called him “my friend.”

This is not the first time the Trumps have visited the British royal family. In fact, their trip this time around (expected to last from September 17 to 19) marks an unprecedented second state visit for a U.S. president.

Despite reports that there were hesitations among members of the British government, the prime minister, Keir Starmer, pushed forward with the visit, and an official invitation was sent out in February. Then, in June, Charles signed an official “manu regia,” which puts the processes of a state visit into motion.

The last time Trump and Melania visited the royal family was in 2019, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Leading up to their visit, there were protests across the U.K., which have been happening again in the lead-up to this visit. Time will tell how Trump will behave, and how the United Kingdom will react, throughout the next two days.

Watch Dump demand land in England for golf course or ‘’I can’t guarantee your country’s safety’’

OP, he's the president of the UK's strongest ally. They have to be polite to him.

Did you expect them to spit in his face?

I cannot understand this. Elizabeth was nearly disdainful. Why are they licking Trumps ass? What’s he giving them?

It's all pomp and circumstance.

Kissing Nazi arse is a Windsor tradition.

It's becoming clear to me now that Queen Elizabeth 2 was the only decent British royal.

[quote]They really do love him, don't they?

Extremely unlikely, but they do need to acknowledge the Office of President, no matter whom fate has cast in the role. And as we know, fate is currently testing global diplomacy to the utmost.

It takes seasoned maturity to handle a super-powerful baby, and the Royals did that supremely well. As for love, I didn't detect an ounce of that in Charles's final steely look and handshake with Trump. Rather, huge relief at having done all necessary to flatter the monster, more than necessary, and immensely more than he ever deserved.

[quote] Why are they licking Trumps ass?

As long as they don’t do that literally. That’s my turf.

I agree Op, I don’t think history will be kind. Yes, this was certainly agreed with together with Starmer and the government, purely in exchange for money. But they didn’t have to go all out and look so gleeful.

Never mind. We’ve been doing Operation Cobra Warrior with our B-52s over there. Dump probably said invite me nice or forget it.

The US is a very powerful ally to have, which is why we have to roll the red carpet out and treat Trump like a king.

We know he loves flattery and, when he's on side, he'll give us more favourable deals plus - should the worst happen - he'd provide us with military support. Snubbing Trump would be unwise.

It's almost like a dance; each person knows the role they play.

I understand the deeper reasoning but want to vomit when I see all the over-the-top charm on the surface.

Trump's such a child - so eager for attention and praise.

What was the real story behind the beef with the mayor of London?

The royals signal their true feelings in symbolic ways. William and Kate are personal friends with the Obamas. When he was president, he was invited to their personal home and hung out with Prince George in his pajamas. The Queen wore a brooch given to her by the Obamas when Trump visited the first time. Both of these were messages to the world as to whom they truly support. Trump is just someone they have to endure.

Where was Andrew??

Charlotte was sent to Balmoral as a precaution.

Princess Kate was slobbering all over Trump too.

Starmer spoke out in support of Charlie Kirk.

The usual royalass cultist apologist for this worthless scrounger family are beyond tiresome.

What R1 said x 1000.

Trump ballyhooed the fact that he had two state visits toUK.

The late Queen Queen and Prince Philip invited the Obamas to Windsor as their private guests, and Philip (and she as I recall) picked them up when the helicopter landed on the grounds of the Castle and drove them back to the Castle. That indicates the late Queen's true feelings.

Starmer's gov't and the BRF put on the show for the racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile and the lampshade behind the gates to shield them from a public that holds no esteem for those grifters. That spoke volumes.

We should all be up in arms about the imbecile's son's-in-law pride of place at the Dinner. The MAGA crowd still foams at the mouth about Hunter Biden. Hunter was smaller than small potatoes next to Tiffany's husband and in-laws when it comes to grifting.

Hitler never wanted to attack Britain because fascists love royalty. Britain forced his hand.

Trump has a hard on for the British Royal Family the same way that Hitler did.

R30 and King Charles has seen Zelenskyy regularly meeting him in his private quarters, having lunch together, etc.

The Mayor of London is a Muslim and a very dark skinned brother.

The British are even more two-faced than Americans. They'll prostitute themselves for any kind of financial gain. A nation of greedy, bigoted shopkeepers.

The Mayor of London is a dumpster fire.

Donald Trump confused onlookers with a bizarre speech to King Charles III and guests at Wednesday evening’s state dinner that included factual errors about the number of U.S presidents who have had the honor of visiting Windsor Castle.

“It is a privilege to be the first American president welcomed here,” said Trump, 79. “And if you think about it, a lot of presidents, and this was this was the second state visit and that is the first. Maybe that is going to be the last time—I hope it is, actually." Guests in the room politely chuckled after that line.

It appears Trump was attempting to reference the fact that he is making an unprecedented second state visit to the UK, which no world leader has done before. His first official state visit came in June of 2019.

It is true that this is the first time a president to dine at Windsor Castle on a formal state dinner, but his claim he is the first President to be welcomed at Windsor Castle is false. Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all visited Windsor Castle during their presidencies. Trump himself took tea with Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle in July of 2018.

The speech seemed to embarrass American viewers on social media.

“Does he think he’s the first American president to visit Windsor Castle? Does he not remember that he visited Windsor Castle during his first term? Will anyone ask him why he can’t seem to remember things he’s already done?”, wrote one user on X.

“This was the second, but also the first, maybe the last’... man invented quantum state visits,” joked another user.

“It’s clear it is his 1st 2nd visit, the next will be the 1st 3d visit or perhaps the 2nd 2nd visit, maybe the last thank you for your attention on this matter,” quipped a third.

Trump’s remarks come the evening before his third and final day of his state visit to the UK. On Thursday, Trump is scheduled to talk politics with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, after which the two will deliver a joint press conference. While that is going on, Melania Trump, 55, will be touring Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House with Queen Camilla.

This was clearly a "lie back & think of England" moment for the Royals; it's times like this that they demonstrate how good they are their jobs.

Of course, they love trump, Charlie's papa came from a Nazi family.

I think he may be a little boorish for their tastes. They only liked the Bushes a little because they were closer cousins to them than the others.

I love how posters, seemingly American based on the content of their responses, are blaming both the UK and the royals for their standard-fare hosting of a foreign dignitary. May I remind them that our dumbasses elected this piece of shit. They would not have to host this odious cretin had we not forced it upon them. It is not for the rest of the world to save us from our own mistakes. The unmitigated gall of passing judgment on another country when we handed the country and the remaining scraps of our constitution to this fascist. No wonder everyone hates us. The stupidity never ceases.

Her Late Majesty visited communist China.

She entertained the Ceausescus (despite a warning from the President of France that they would strip their rooms of anything which was not bolted down).

She wrote to Idi Amin to congratulate him on the anniversary of his country’s independence.

She (and Prince Phillip) visited Belfast and shook hands and made small talk with the man widely believed to have ordered the assassination of their uncle.

The Royal Family are the nation’s chief diplomats. They act on the advice from democratically elected ministers, who sometimes feel the need to flatter unsavoury characters who have seized power or who have been gifted it by morons who care only about the price of eggs.

And the RF do their part very well. The elected US President got a lovely parade, full of opportunities to look important, and he got a lovely meal in a very exclusive dining chamber with a smiling Princess and a pally king by his side. And the next day, Mr Starmer got President Trump’s signature on a trade deal worth $150 billion to the British economy.

The murderous look on Camilla's face during Trump's dinner speech was everything!

[quote]I think he may be a little boorish for their tastes.

To be fair to the Royals, he's comprehensively too boorish for most sane people on the planet.

They all have a good laugh when he leaves the room. He can't be the only terrible guest they've had to entertain over the years. He's just one more to add to the list, and they do so because they are obligated to, then he leaves, and they move on.

How hard it must have been to sit there with no expression save rapt attention as he wandered an babbled and shit his way through a sloppily crafted, piece of garbage. Who ever wrote that for him had to be an imbecile.

So 50 years ago when 'MILLA was fucking her tampon, she just have never envisioned sitting next to an incontinent American President.

The thought of his ass gasses running up her nose must have made him insufferable.

But, 'Milla is a horse woman and can stand ACTUAL horse shit. Bravo, Queenie!

Being a person who has a hard time controlling their facial expressions, I marvel at people who can plaster on a happy face and not roll their eyes, look bored or annoyed and be gracious to the biggest cretins

I'm not shocked that Catherine is besties with Trump and Melanie. Charles has always been more progressive than people realize, as is William, they're putting on a good act. The Queen Consort is just an old broad and likes a bawdy joke, but that Catherine, I knew she would be all over this. A lot of people have had number for a long time.

President Trump Stuns King Charles with incoherent speech...

R47, She's a future queen, and this is part of the job. It's more likely a fake show that they're both gritting their teeth to get through.

I doubt Melania is 'bestie's' with anyone, except maybe Barron.

Royals of a feather.

R48 It was fun to see Charles chuckling and trying not to roll his eye at every word of that rambling nonsense.

[quote]Who ever wrote that for him had to be an imbecile

[quote]President Trump Stuns King Charles with incoherent speech

Just imagine the sort of tenth-rate hack who might be attracted to 'writing' for Trump. Democrat Presidents would have fine writers ten-deep to come up with measured gracious witty speeches fitting for such an occasion. Even William Buckley wouldn't have refused the call from Reagan. But 'writing' for Trump has to be a death-wish for any authorial 'career.'

That said, Trump almost certainly went off-script, to show he knew better, didn't really need any 'writer.' He reached new levels of pathos in asserting how uniquely special his Windsor invitation was. Yes, his hosts knew all that, because they issued the invitation. And nor would any mature adult need to over-assert the fact for the fiftieth time, especially before one of the most sophisticated audiences in the world. But I'm sure it was all what most observers more or less expected.

That kind of babbling makes me appreciate Barron's silence.

The last time I was in London it looked like downtown Karachi.

Has it occurred to anyone that the only reason that this was possible is because Trump is "serving" a second NONCONSECUTIVE term? If he'd been re-elected in 2020 this never would have happened.

I've said this on other threads, so might as well here. The state banquet at Windsor wasn't really the great, unique honor Trump thinks it is, though the whole visit was crafted to make Trump feel like it, and he obviously fell for it. The trappings and luxury of royaly, the parade, the carriage ride, inspecting the troops, the gilding at Windsor are what appeals most to Trump and give him a chubby.

In reality, this was a way to keep Trump away from any more personal time with Charles than absolutely necessary. Normally, a second visit from a POTUS isn't a state visit so no parade, banquet, etc. But they do have private tea (actually a meal, not just the beverage and cookies) with the monarch which really is the real honor. Which means having to have a conversation for at least an hour. I cannot imagine Charles being able to endure that without some negativity seeping out. His mother, yes, Charles no. But Trump and those around him probably haven't figured it out.

I've also read that the timing of the visit when Parliament hasn't fully convened so no possibility of Trump addressing them.

Firstly, the royal family, in these matters, does what the elected government of the UK tells them to. Secondly, Prince Philip did not come from a Nazi family. His sisters married German nobles, most of whom joined the Nazi party. But his father, who lived through most of World War II, was no Nazi, and his mother has been honored as among the "righteous" for the risks she took hiding Jews in Greece during World War II.

You are overthinking, r56, Trump doesnt care about private time and private talks. He cares about photo ops and public displays of brownsing. And that what he’s got. With no bad faces or even rolling eyes, but a true wellcome.

I repeat, the way things are going in the USA this will go down badly in history, specialky for the royal family. And bad examples from Elizabeth Ii should only have been lessons learned. They are idiots or oblivious.

The worse thing is that anyone with half a head knows now this is meangless. Trump doesnt respect this and will never compromise in anything worth it that they were looking for. Just look what he sais.

I would add this took place in a week where civil liberties and free of speech were most attacked by the Trimp administration, in very third reich fashion. probably Charles, William and the rest were oblivious to this and Framtically rejoicing at downfall of the ratings of Megan’s netflix show and Harry’s sorrowful campaign abroad (another oblivious couple who is probably jealous they weren’t dining with Trump).

nutcase @

They didn't roll out a red carpet. There was no carpet.

R57 sure Hans

I believe it was a metaphor r61.

[Quote] Never liked her pick me attitude.

And many don’t like trendy buzzwords that will sound dated tomorrow.

[QUOTE]She entertained the (despite a warning from the President of France that they would strip their rooms of anything which was not bolted down).

Not only did they strip their guest rooms, their security tore up walls looking for listening devices. They took bathroom fixtures, too. 😂.

That whole visit was such a fiasco. IIRC, the government pushed for the State visit because the Ceausescus floated the idea that they wanted to buy aircraft from some British firm. Elena demanded an honorary Ph.D. . I think the institution balked it was given quietly as a compromise. Turned out afterwards the plane order was all a ruse to get an all expenses paid vacation on the British dime.

The best story: The Queen was in Buckingham gardens walking her corgis when she spotted the couple. They hadn't seen her, so she ducked behind some bushes until the coast was clear.

Trump marches in front of the monarch once again...

Dump follows in a long royal tradition

Long tradition? Trump is the only POTUS to behave like a buffoon. Even Dubya had some dignity and grace in public.

This is part of the Royal Family’s purpose, OP. When the British government needs to cement or improve a relationship with another country they use the Royal Family to help smooth over the relationship. For example, George VI and the Queen Mother visited the US right before the start of WWII to help convince the American public of the need to support the UK. Or when Elizabeth II came to the US in 1957, after Anglo American relations were strained by the Suez crisis.

Dump is impressed by royalty, so of course they’re going to roll out the red carpet for his fat ass and his whore’s fat ass.

r68, The Preznit was a humble ignoramus who did not suffer from Dunning-Kruger.

I have to admit that this part of Dump's speech was pretty funny....

[quote]President Trump Stuns King Charles with incoherent speech...

Charles looked impassive, but there were moments you thought Camilla was going to break character.

Overall, the whole thing just seems incredibly boring

[QUOTE]I cannot understand this. Elizabeth was nearly disdainful. Why are they licking Trumps ass? What’s he giving them?

[QUOTE]t's becoming clear to me now that Queen Elizabeth 2 was the only decent British royal.

What did your sources tell you she did? This seems surprising since she always strictly adhered to what the government told her to do. Her operating principle was that her personal preferences shouldn't matter since she was head of state of a democracy. It will be interesting to get the details of this since it may give us a different view of her reign.

Charles, on the other hand, did in fact did try to be as cold as he could reasonably be during Trump's first visit. Because he was not head of state and was not obligated to participate in all of the events. This time he is head of state and did what I thought Elizabeth II did during Trump's previous visit. (But I was not previously aware of the facts you have presented.)
