Donald Trump has faced backlash after walking in front of King Charles during a meeting at Windsor Castle. The US President was accused of breaching royal protocol, with viewers taking to social media to express their displeasure.
One user on X said: “Trump walking in front of the King. Is that normal?” Another described the move as “very cringe,” while a third accused the President of a “power move”. The incident has reignited criticism of Trump’s past behaviour towards the monarchy, including stepping in front of the late Queen Elizabeth II during a previous visit.
Despite the awkward start, the visit continues with a carriage procession and inspection of the Guard of Honour. The Trumps will also view a display of Royal Collection items relating to the United States, and visit the late Queen’s tomb at St George’s Chapel.
A state banquet is scheduled for Wednesday evening at St George’s Hall, where both the King and President will deliver speeches. On Thursday, Mr Trump will meet Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at RAF Halton.
