Donald Trump and the royal protocol, a less than cordial understanding. THE Daily Mail revealed that the queen Elizabeth II did not at all appreciate an inappropriate comment made by the former president of the United States about his sister, the princess Margaret died in 2002, during her visit to the United Kingdom in 2018.
If many sources claim that the former monarch did not like Donald Trump very much, this new revelation once again reinforces these allegations. An indiscreet person, very well informed about the events of 2018, told the royal expert Richard Eden : “Trump put his foot in it by saying that Margaret must have been a difficult sister. The Queen was very annoyed by this remark, which she considered ignorant and hurtful. She always defended Margaret to the end. » It must be said that criticizing the deceased is not very well regarded… Even less so is criticizing members of the royal family. Elizabeth II was close to her only sister, although the two women were often opposed in their way of being. Princess Margaret had been described by some biographers as “anti-queen”, due to her smoking and repeated scandals.
Queen Elizabeth II was close to her little sister, Princess Margaret.

All's well that ends well
In his biography on Elizabeth II, Craig Brown claimed that a few weeks after the visit of the American head of state, the queen would have confided to one of her guests during a lunch that she had found Donald Trump “very rude”, particularly hating the way he did not could stop himself from “looking over his shoulder, as if looking for other, more interesting people.” Robert Hardmana Crown specialist, was however surprised by these comments. If Donald Trump indeed made some protocol errors during his official visit, none were particularly damaging. The expert assured that if the meeting between Elizabeth II and the president had not gone well, their private session in the Oak Room would not have lasted twenty minutes. Advisors later said the two even became friends over something they had in common: their Scottish roots. Enough to start off on a good basis.
