Trump cancels State visit to UK!

Donald Trump has cancelled his proposed State visit to The United Kingdom because he feels it will be marred by protests. It seems he wants to wait until the British public like him more!!! I must admit when I heard that Theresa May had invited him to visit the London I almost cringed. There is much protocol and etiquette to follow when he visits London. Firstly he must only ever shake the Queens hand and it would be appreciated if he made a slight bow although as he is not a British citizen he would not be required to bow. He must only shake her hand lightly once she has put it out to him and must never touch her anywhere for example on her shoulder or give her a kiss on the cheeks. I doubt the Queen would appreciate a high five either. On first meeting the Queen he should address her as Your Majesty, thereafter she should be referred to as Ma'am and definitely not Liz or God forbid Lizzie. He should never turn his back on the Queen and certainly not push Prince Philip out of the way so that he can take pride of place for the official photo shoot as he did with the President of Montenegro recently. I think Prince Philip would tell him a thing or two in no uncertain terms. For the state banquet I would expect that he knows how to use multiple sets of cutlery and in which order they should be used. I can imagine he has eaten in many classy restaurants however dining with HM would be a completely different thing. It is so well organised and the Queen will inspect the dining table to make sure it is just so. She takes great pride in entertaining and being in charge and will inspect the table settings closely. He should use both knife and fork and not just use a fork to eat his meal. He should not sit until the Queen has indicated that it is ok to sit down. Hopefully he won't speak with his mouth full of food or make noises chewing. Liveried footmen will step forward to remove used plates. The Queen, after so many years of practice, will let someone know when they have overstepped the mark. She does not have to say anything but the look she would give will say it all. There would be no mistaking that someone has overstepped the mark. It is one thing to hold Theresa Mays hand but this will never happen with the Queen. I should imagine he will be briefed about what he can do and what he can't. I am sure the British Embassy can provide him with an etiquette lesson on his conduct. It has been reported that he is not too keen on meeting Prince Charles who is a great conservationist and probably quite upset that Mr Trump has withdrawn the USA from the Paris climate agreement. Here is the link from Youtube showing how Mr Trump shoved the Prime minister of Montenegro out of the way to get to the front of a photo shoot!
