Trumps to meet queen on UK trip

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will meet Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle during their visit to Britain this week, the prime minister’s office confirmed.

A sketchy outline of the Trump schedule was released by Prime Minister Theresa May’s office.

On Friday, following a meeting with May at Chequers, the prime minister’s country retreat, the president and first lady “will then travel to Windsor Castle to meet the Queen,” the statement said.

Since the meeting is taking place in the afternoon local time, it is likely there will be tea involved.

It’s not a state occasion. But it’s something, and it’s something Trump wanted, according to U.S. Ambassador Robert Wood Johnson:

“Yes, yes, I mean he has to see the head of state,” he told Sky News.
