DATE WITH ROYALTY: Trump to officially visit Queen Elizabeth in June amid lingering tensions

-

On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace announced the Queen of England, Elizabeth II has invited the President and First Lady of the United States to the UK for a formal state visit. There were protests in Great Britain during his first visit as the president whereby he and Mrs. Trump had tea with the Queen last year. Along with anti-Trump demonstrators lining the street, there was also in the air, a blimp depicting the American leader as an orange baby in a  diaper whining. It is a high honor to be the guest of the Queen. The tensions likely remain, but as the third U.S. president to receive  a full state visit with the monarch it is a must attend date.  But the POTUS will need to brush up on royal etiquette.  Trump broke protocol by walking in front of the Queen when hey last met.

The White House said Pres. Trump and First Lady Melania will "reaffirm the steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom" on June 3-5/  While in England they will also commemorate the 75th anniversary of Dooms Day.  On June 6 the first couple will travel to Normandy, France, simultaneously answering a previous invitation to meet with Pres. Emmanuel Macron.

 The response to this welcomed royal gesture from the White House follows:
Statement on President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s Upcoming Travel to the United Kingdom and the French Republic

President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump accepted the invitation of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to visit the United Kingdom from June 3 to 5, 2019.
