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.
