Do get out of one’s way, Donald!

HE is used to being out of step with other leaders, and perhaps he was caught up in the excitement of the occasion.

At one point Mr Trump appeared to breach royal protocol , marching in front of the Queen while they inspected the guard of honour at Windsor Castle.

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, Mr Trump failed to pick up on the signal and instead came to an abrupt stop in front of her.

The Queen abandoned her efforts to get the President to move and simply shuffled around him. Mr Trump continued to stand stock-still, staring at the Coldstream Guards – who were in their traditiona­l bearskin hats despite the 27C (81F) heat.

Perhaps in deference to the Army’s second most senior regiment, Mr Trump appeared to be transfixed by their resplenden­t appearance and was rooted to the spot for several moments.

The Queen, who is used to inspecting her guards, appeared to leave him behind before she spurred him into movement again with a swift hand gesture.
