After touching down on British soil for his ‘unprecedented’ second state visit, where he was greeted by members of the royal family, US President Donald Trump has already broken a major piece of protocol.
As part of his grand welcoming, King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales (better known as Will and Kate), all cleared their schedules to greet Trump and his wife, Melania, at Windsor Castle, ahead of a spectacular fly past by the Red Arrows.
The welcome also features a specially curated exhibition, demonstrating the longstanding relationship between the US and the UK, and a grand military parade… as we know Trump is a fan of fanfare.

However, in a new video shared on X by reporter Narinder Kaur, Trump can be seen walking ahead of the King (a big no-no) while speaking to a foot guard.
“Oh god..he’s walking infront of the King, like Charles doesn’t even exist or matter!” Kaur captioned the clip, which has already been liked over 4,000 times.
It’s considered poor etiquette to walk ahead of the Head of State, least not on their own turf.
Elsewhere, four people have been arrested after projecting an image of Trump and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, onto the side of the castle.
The stunt was organised by political campaign group Led By Donkeys, who in recent months have also publicly trolled Elon Musk. Speaking about the police intervention, a spokesperson told The Guardian, “We’ve done, I reckon, 25 or 30 projections since we’ve been going.
“Often the police come along and we have a chat to them, and they even have a laugh with us and occasionally tell us to not do it, but no one’s ever been arrested before, so it is ridiculous that four of our guys have been arrested for malicious communications.”
