President Trump keeps Queen Elizabeth waiting outside for several minutes before meeting [View all]

God Save the Queen’s time.

President Trump kept Queen Elizabeth II waiting outside for several minutes before he arrived for their meeting at Windsor Castle. The 92-year-old English leader appeared to check her watch as she waited for Trump and First Lady Melania, who made it the castle at around 5 p.m. local time.

It’s considered protocol for guests of the Queen to arrive early — not simply on time — for their meetings with the British royal, as detailed by British etiquette experts Debrett’s.

A number of viewers who watched a livestream of Trump’s arrival on television were critical of the President of keeping the Queen waiting.

He's such an inconsiderate asshole. The Queen is 92 years old and, um, she's the QUEEN of the UK.
