\n Image:<\/span> The British royal family is preparing for a high-profile visit: US President Donald Trump lands in London tonight. An etiquette guide for the state visit – to avoid another faux pas.<\/p>\n St. George’s Hall is like no other place on the British Isles for the monarchy to present itself.<\/p>\n This week, Donald Trump and his wife Melania<\/a> will dine in this magnificent hall at Windsor Castle together with King Charles and Queen Camilla and around 150 invited guests. Trump is to spend three days and two nights in Windsor.<\/p>\n It is well known that the US President has a weakness for monarchs and gilded rooms<\/a>. The British king is therefore expected to keep him happy with royal pomp during the state visit.<\/p>\n Donald Trump has repeatedly boasted about his Scottish origins in the past, regularly raved about Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2022, and presents himself as a wannabe king.<\/p>\n “This is precisely why he could be receptive to the aura of Windsor, to the courtly ritual that he is hardly offered in any other state building in the world,” believes Der Spiegel.<\/a><\/p>\n Preparations have been in full swing in the royal family for weeks – because nothing should be left to chance. The only problem is that King Charles doesn’t like small talk.<\/p>\n \n Image:<\/span> “Actually a rather unfavorable combination, because Donald Trump wants to be flattered. Charles is not good at that,” a palace employee explained to Bild.<\/a><\/p>\n The hosts are therefore said to have developed a plan to avoid embarrassing moments. According to insiders, Charles is relying heavily on Princess Kate’s charisma and diplomacy.<\/p>\n However, even a US president doesn’t meet the British king every day. It can therefore happen that details of royal protocol are forgotten.<\/p>\n During his first visit in the summer of 2018, Trump attracted attention for his foul-mouthed manners.<\/p>\n During his working visit, the US President kept 92-year-old Queen Elizabeth waiting on the podium in front of the standing at attention guard for no less than twelve minutes before he and Melania drove up.<\/p>\n \n Image:<\/span> As if that wasn’t enough, the President walked in front of the Queen as the Guard marched off – against court protocol.<\/p>\n
