Donald Trump waving from the Queen’s royal carriage is not a scenario many would have foreseen a year ago, but it has become a very real prospect, forcing security services to plan an unprecedented lockdown.

The White House has made clear it regards the carriage procession down the Mall as an essential element of the itinerary for the visit currently planned for the second week of October, according to officials.


If true, I hope the queen tells him to go f himself.

Don't believe it. Why is Trump even going to see The Queen? The visit to GB was supposedly rescheduled for October. That's what they said back in Feb.

He really does think he's a king, doesn't he? Unbelievable. Like you, I hope the queen tells him what he can do with his demands.

Teresa May invited him to a state visit, which includes an audience with the queen.

Yeah, and he doesn't intend to play golf or take vacations either. Oh, and he's got this awesome healthcare plan.......

England historically has a short way with Pretenders to the throne.

I hope they tell Trump to go pound sand.

So. That doesn't mean he is a Monarch. Though he sure likes to THINK he is.

Well the carriage is gold, so... obviously.
