WASHINGTON (AP) — Maybe it was a nerve from the presence of royalty, or perhaps it was a simple mistake, but over the years there have been quite a few gaffes by the US president and the first women against members of the British royal family.
As President Donald Trump I’m getting ready to get on State visit With British King Charles III in England this week, let’s take a look back at some of the well-known fake PAs, including one of the Trumps.
Carter’s kiss
President Jimmy Carter attended a summit dinner at Buckingham Palace in 1977.
The newly elected president was from Georgia and had strong roots in the south. He attended the event with members of the royal family and took photos together.
It was rumored that Carter kissed the Queen’s mother on the lips while greeting her.
Carter later said he kissed her on the cheek, but the British tabloids ran with the story for years.
Bush Miss Peak
Hosted by President George W. Bush Queen Elizabeth II At the White House in 2007.
When she arrived, Bush gave a welcoming speech. There, she slammed a line depicting the Queen as much older than her.
“You helped our country celebrate its twenty years in 1976 in 17,” Bush said, laughing as the crowd cried out.
He then turned his eyes to the Queen and shared a humorous look together.
“She saw that only a mother could give me a child,” he said.
Michelle Obama makes the first move
When Obamas visited the royal family in 2009, first lady Michelle Obama I put her hand down Behind Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen breaks the protocol that she cannot touch unless the Queen makes the first move.
Despite Mrs. Obama’s initial contact, the Queen reciprocated the gesture by placing her hands on the first lady’s back as well.
Barack Obama’s Music Toast
President Barack Obama unexpectedly began playing the “Queen of God” while proposing toast for dinner at Buckingham Palace in 2011.
Rather than stopping toast to finish the music, the president has built his speech.
When the president finished the toast, the Queen waited for the national anthem to finish before raising her glass.
Trump moves ahead
As Trump and Queen Elizabeth II I checked the Guard of Honor During his 2018 visit, at Windsor Castle, he stepped directly into her walkway towards the Queen.
In the British hierarchy, the monarch is always meant to lead the way.
