Trump breaks protocol during Royal visit as he keeps Queen waiting 12 minutes and walks in front of her...causing her to shoo him out the way
Donald Trump has sparked outrage for his 'disrespectful' failure to follow royal protocol when he met the Queen on Friday. Trump not only turned his back on the Queen during his visit, but forced her to have to walk round him.
The president was late for his first meeting with the 92-year-old monarch who was waiting at Windsor Castle for between 12 and 15 minutes in the 80 degree F heat when he was late for their meeting on Friday.
The Queen can be seen in the footage checking her watch as she waited for the President and his First Lady.
The American leader and his wife both [later] offered the Queen handshakes which sparked online commentators to ask why they did not curtsey to her as a mark of respect.
The president's biggest faux pas came when he was invited to join the Queen to inspect the guard of honor. Video of the moment showed Trump turning his back on the monarch and marching ahead of her as they walked past the troops - in what was a serious breach of protocol.
The President looked out of step with the official choreography – causing the Queen to point tentatively and ask him to move to the left. However, Trump failed to pick up on the signal and instead came to an abrupt stop in front of her.

I could not help but snigger
Because nothing is done by accident. Nothing is done out of ignorance -- certainly not on the scale of meeting the Queen. I suspect this was absolutely deliberate on Trump's part, all part of the plan.
A message? A statement? A threat?
