Here are some photos of Queen Elizabeth at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, which was Day 2 of Royal Ascot. She went two days in a row! Because that’s how much she loves horses. She always seems to perk up considerably whenever she’s doing anything horse-related. But it’s not going to be all fun and games next month. After America’s Nazi president repeatedly cancelled and changed plans to travel to England, it’s looking like the Trumps are definitely/probably going to make the trip on July 13th. That’a Friday. The Trumps will arrive in London, and Donald Trump is getting his one-on-one meet-and-greet with the Queen. Poor Liz.
President Donald Trump plans to meet Queen Elizabeth II next month while on a working trip to the United Kingdom. The visit will take place on Friday July 13, and will be the U.S. president’s first trip to the country since winning the 2016 election, Sky News reports.
“Yes, yes, I mean he has to see the head of state,” U.S. ambassador Robert Wood Johnson told Sky News when asked whether the president would meet the queen. “Putting his foot on British soil, it’s job one, it’s very important, very symbolic.”
Plans are still being finalized, but Trump will likely meet the queen at Windsor Castle and engage in talks with Prime Minister Theresa May while he is there. Anti-Trump protests will be expected in light of the crisis enveloping the Trump administration over a ‘zero tolerance‘ immigration policy that has seen children separated from parents accused of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. More than 2,000 children have been removed from their parents and temporarily moved to government-run facilities or foster care to worldwide condemnation.
It seems to me like Queen Liz would probably prefer to already be in Scotland by mid-July, considering she usually shuts down Buckingham Palace and spends her summers in Balmoral. That should be her excuse: I’m so sorry I can’t meet with the Fat Nazi, but I’d rather be in Scotland. Of course, there are other excuses she could make too, like she shouldn’t have to meet with Nazis, or meeting with Nazis gives them some semblance of legitimacy. She could say that she would actually prefer to not meet with leaders who violate every human-rights law and norm recognized by the international community.
Of course, all of this might be for naught. Ten bucks says that Trump at least entertains the idea of canceling this trip. He’s canceled before, and I think there’s a good chance he will do so again. Also: Meghan and Harry are going to be in Ireland, on tour, on July 10th and 11th. I doubt the palace would force those two to meet with Trump. Same with the Cambridges – Kate’s (good) excuse is that she’s still on maternity leave, and William could beg off too. I suspect that if Trump does show up, he’ll have a brief meeting with the Queen, and MAYBE Charles.

Friday the 13th.
Let’s pray he doesn’t throw something at her, like he did at Angela Merkel. Or maybe we should hope that he does and that the Queen’s guards wrestle his fat ass to the ground and the corgis pee on him.
He threw something at Angela Merkel? Really? What was it?
Him lying on the floor with the corgis peeing on him is a nice picture. Yes, that looks really good. 😀
Starbursts.
You cant make this stuff up.
He threw starbursts??? What is starbursts? 🙁
Starbursts are fruit flavored, square-shaped, chewy candies, wrapped in paper. Apparently, he only likes the red ones and carries them in his pockets at all times. At the G7, right after that picture that she released of her scowling at him was taken, he stood up and threw the contents of his pocket at her. Red Starbursts.
Oh thank you. I’m not familiar with the name Starbursts or US-sweets in general. 😉
He’s such an ass.
He’d get off on that. Ha! Could be another leaf to his Russian pee tape dossier! Lol
OMG. Red Starbursts are so pedestrian. Everyone who is anyone knows PINK Starbursts are the best. 🙄
BearcatLawyer, your comment reminded me that Trump had/has someone on his staff pick out the red ones for him. Can’t remember who it was — Lewandowski and Spicer come to mind.
I didn’t know about that, was the incident caught on camera?
Anyway Starbursts were known as Opral Fruits when I was a kid and they tasted better. I don’t know why I was allowed to eat so many sweets as a kid. Unlike my children, who I never allowed to binge on sweets, I have a mouthful of fillings.
He threw something at Merkel?! Good god. When did that happen??
He threw starbursts candy at her at the G7 meeting and said, “Don’t say I never give you anything.”
Did he hit or miss her?
Landed on the table in front of her. But, they’re great friends, don’t you know. Because we women folk are supposed to put up with that crap.
I know that he doesn’t like her. She hides her emotions most of the time and sees more the pragmatic way in trying to achieve something. This comes across of being boring since you never know, what is she doing, is she doing anything at all? Her “boring” way is healthier than his bullying. He is so 50ties/60ties.
Putin doesn’t like Merkel because of oil and some other grudges Putin has against Germany. Plus he hates women in power positions so 45 does his bidding by insulting her.
I don’t know if Putin doesn’t like her. Merkel speaks Russian and she supplies him regularly with beer. 😀 They have some sort of understanding.
I’m sure Trump thought he was being funny. We used to do that grade school and thought it was the funniest thing ever. So, you know, Trump’s stunted mentality and all.
@C.Remm
He does not like her. He tried to purposely intimidate her by having his mean looking dog because he knew she was afraid of dogs. Later he pretended not to know but this guy is a former KGB mastermind so of course he knew that.
Putin wants to destabilize the EU and Germany is the strongest member. He interfered with the German elections and holds grudges from the Soviet days.
What you are referring to is diplomacy but his heart is about the USSR and settling some scores. If he liked her so much he wouldn’t have worked so hard to make sure she wouldn’t be re-elected.
I was just reading how Merkel has had to put up with a lot of BS from “the boys”: Putin brought a dog to a meeting with her once when it’s known she is afraid of dogs, George W. Bush like patted her on the shoulder or something patronizing like that, Berlusconi tried to play hide and seek with her…?! WTF?
@lightpurple – Pee? Surely you mean ‘maul to death’?
Well, pee first, because he likes that. His last wish, as it were. Then they can commence mauling. Which will really sting what with all that pee.
The corgis should not maul him to death, they might get food poisoning.
You guys have got me laughing for the first time in days. Thanks guys, I needed it.
He DOES like to be peed on
Aaahhh I forgot about his golden shower fetish! In that case, ok, he can be peed upon before death by mauling.
I really hope he chickens out of coming here though. Even the thought of it is making me heave. But if he does, and if I were Queenie, what I’d do is say “Fine, I’ll have tea with him” but then, on the eve of his visit, sneak away in the dead of night to Scotland, leaving nothing but a “Sorry, something came up. Yours, HRH” postit on the palace railings for when he turns up.
Skylark, I am picturing the post-it 😂😂😂
The more we talk about it the more I’m hopeful that he will cancel. This is a guy who cannot stand anything but complete adoration. He won’t go to a DC opening day baseball game because he’ll get booed. (Dick Fukcing Cheney even threw out a first pitch, to a hailstorm of boos). He won’t go to the Correspondents Dinner. When athletes say they won’t come to the WH he “disinvites” them first. He only has his stupid rallies in solid red states with handpicked audiences, so he can get as much adulation as possible. He almost never goes to NYC because he knows the grief he will get.
The optics of mass protests in Britain might be too much for his ego. Even if he is isolated from the protests he will see them on the news because he is TV addict.
Handpicked audiences???? Paid actors!
@Minx – really, I’ll be very surprised if his fragile ego allows him to risk it. As mortifyingly dunce-like as he is, I think, for all the reasons you say, the one single thing he is aware and on top of is optics. And even he can’t be delusional enough to believe there’s a warm welcome waiting for him here.
I can’t wait to see the protesters everywhere he goes. Apologies to QEII in advance, it’s a tough job.
I wish his arrival was a day earlier, we leave 7/12, I’d have loved to have protested!!!!!
I sincerely hope that this trip does not happen* because I can’t bear anymore. He’s gone from stupid right wing claptrap to seriously evil. There is no more humor to be found in the situation and impeachment can’t happen too soon – all of them – VP Pence is in it up to his eyebrows.
* if it does, please protest magnificently Brits!
Exactly!! Makes me want to cringe and apologize to the Queen. Sorry your Majesty most Americans really aren’t buffoons.
tRump had said some very vulgar things about Princess Diana. That would be good enough reason for the Royals not to meet him. He’s disgusting.
She could ‘call in sick’..I would..
boredblond, I also cam on to suggest this. I mean, she’s THE QUEEN. What’s the point of being The Queen if can’t pull off a simple sickie?
I’m stunned at how much she looks like my late mum.
Or she can just say, ‘Hold up, I am the Queen of England. I don’t wanna’.
That’s what she should do, no explanation. She owes nothing to this POS.
If they do meet, TQ’s manners are impeccable and she will be cordial to him. He will slobber over the press coverage and photos.
Not to sound like a total dunce, but is she required to meet with this turd? She’s the Queen, why can’t she just say no? As Kaiser mentioned, she has several reasons/excuses she can use to not meet with the POS.
Oh Celebitchies, how you make me smile in dark times!
She’s the Queen. If she wanted to refuse she could.
Yup. She is meeting him because she wants to or feels that she should. Or she wouldn’t.
Let’s not pretend that Harry didn’t say “ Give Trump a chance,” or never wore a Nazi uniform. The Queen may agree with poor racist donald. People project on her what they hope is true. She is over 90, married to a racist and white and elitist.
She may like Trump.
@Nan, what proof do you have that Prince Harry said “give Trump a chance”?I just curious!
That was my first thought. She should plan to have a bad summer cold. Or flu. He says he’s a germophobe. Wouldn’t want him to be exposed to something contagious, would we?
Me too! Surely if there was ever a time to allow Charles to pinch hit for her, this is it!
Hoping that Charles will be her escort for the day (it’s usually Charles or William these days). Charles just loves to lecture guests about the environment and his eco-projects!
There’s no reason why HM should stoop to his level and LIE just to get out of a meeting with Trump’s sorry ass. If she doesn’t want to meet with him, she can just say, no. He would meet Theresa May and thats that. Or they can have him meet with Nigel Farage, birds of the same feather, and leave it it at that. HM is free to say “I won’t meet with Trump as a matter of principle”, that wouldn’t be a political statement.
I also doubt he’ll ever meet with PoW, no way in hell would that happen. And I doubt any of the younger royals will be subjected to meeting with Trump, William and Kate did not want to meet with the Obamas, why would they wanna meet with Trump?
Will and Kate did meet with the Obamas. Twice I believe…
Ehh, just down the flag and nick off to Balmoral, Liz. Stand the twat up.
Or she could have him arrested for human rights violations. And throw him in a dungeon.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she found some way to get out of it.
I like this idea very much
I am really not looking forward to a picture of TQ with Cheeto. I hope she reconsiders.
I agree with all the above comments. She should definitely plan a “flu” weekend & then get photo’d riding her pony, driving herself, or playing with little great-grands so the
a-hole knows for sure he’s been snubbed.
What Taxi said. That would be awesome. A bit short sighted, mind you, because that would make him sooo angry that he might do something even more stupid than he has done before (see also: buttons for nukes and such, haha, jk, or am I?). But it would be fun, while it lasted.
Let’s not pretend she’s a saint. And she ain’t poor.
She met with many other dictators, worse than this guy. She may act and look all ladylike but there’s nothing innocent about the Royals.
The Queen knows her duty. She has met with people worse than Trump, because the Foreign Office has asked her to. She’s met with Assad, Ceaucescu, Mugabe, Sese Seko, Suharto. She’s even given a state dinner for Putin. Don’t blame her for doing this.
This is definitely an occasion where she should send Will and make him do some work 😋 poor Queenie, she doesn’t deserve this.
Recalling all the US Presidents she has met, it would really suck if he’s the last US President she would meet *touch wood. He disgusts me. And whoever is complicit.
Omg this is now going to haunt me now.
And its not fair for Theresa May to subject HM to this at TQ’s age, not fair at all.
Gloves. Gloves Gloves Gloves. So many gloves, and hand sanitizer. And then a strong beverage or two. We can get through this!
This may be the one time when you really need Prince Andrew… I’m sure he and Trump will get along famously
They have their friendship with Epstein in common, at the very least.
Hmmm … interesting thought. Maybe that’s why P Andy’s profile has been a bit higher in these last few weeks. Standing prominently next to TQ on the balcony for Trooping, and riding in carriage on day 1 of Ascot. Bolsters his profile when he attends the meeting with TQ as opposed to the more senior royals.
-Duch
I have been saying for a while now that the best way Brits can protest Fat Nazi is to remain silent, hold up signs, and turn their backs on him. He expects crowds of people will come out to see him. He will spin all the photos of people hurling vitriol and invective at him as “Look at how popular I am in the U.K.! They love me!” But a silent protest would completely freak him out and rob him of the ability to claim widespread adulation. He will not know how to handle that one bit.
Yes, and the Bell of the Tower shall chime, you know like they did in the old days before an execution or when somebody had died. That’ll give him the creeps. 😀
C. Remm, I’d bet the Fat Nazi wouldn’t have the slightest clue what that was about. He’d go back home and pronounce, “See? They even tolled the special bells for me! I tell you, they love me!” Uurrgh.
I am hoping for something like this when he arrives at Windsor.
https://youtu.be/K-Cc_dJBKz4
I don’t understand this video. What did they play?
It’s from “Star Wars:” Darth Vader’s theme. They were implying the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was like the Empire.
Oh that’s amazing! I hope something similar is done to insult this barbaric fool during his visit.
Ah, thank you. That is so funny. 😀
@Bearcat
Or this: https://youtu.be/_RFH7C3vkK4
This tactic reminds me of something that happened here in Chicago last weekend. The Parkland kids were here meeting with gun control activists and shooting victims and other advocates and apparently a Trumpster burst in with a big MAGA flag. Everyone just silently stared him down, creeping in with their own signs, until he finally slunk away.
I feel like when they don’t get a confrontation they are rendered powerless. They thrive on chaos.
Windsor Castle is closed to the public that day. Wonder how close the back-turning crowds could get along the route? If he flies in by chopper he misses them completely. Then he’d just claim the crowds were supporters anxious to cheer him on.
Paint the roofs too.
I think this is why Windsor was chosen, its a lot more private than BP and yes they can land a heli either in the great park or Frogmore. I love Windsor Castle and I can’t believe they are going to let the fat Nazi pollute it with his vile stench.
@DigitalUnicorn
But the Dorgis will be at Windsor since the Queen lives there, so let’s hope the Queen DOES sik them on The Dotard! In whatever way she deems, and/or it works out. And get Guy in on the action too. 🤣
It’s great that they’re Dorgis because those extra Dachschund genes will assist.
OT: I wonder how Guy and the Dorgs get along?!
@Natalia: Dachs-hund. Sorry, german grammar nazi here LOL. Dachschund would be read as Dach-Schund which kinda means “roof garbage”. So I’ll book that under “freudian slips” since we’re talking about garbage indeed.
I was thinking of a welcome that is a little livelier. One involving tomatoes and rotten eggs.
My money is on him cancelling again. I’m surprised he’s not insisting on a very public carriage ride to the palace from where he is staying. If enough gets out about major protests happening when he is there, he will most likely cancel. If I were the queen, on the day he is suppose to meet me I would call in sick.
Edit: Trump is also planning to meet with Putin around the same time.
And can we mourn for KoKo the gorilla who has passed away.
I’m strongly opposed to the idea of HM lying just to get out of meeting with trump. Trump will turn around and use that lie against the UK, he’ll hold the UK hostage threatening to expose TQ for her lying to her subjects etc. No no no no, just decline politely and say “I won’t meet with Trump”, period. She doesn’t even have to give no reason why, let Trump go crazy trying to figure out why she wouldn’t meet with him when she met with the Obamas. Just that will push Trump over the edge.
I kinda hope he cancels, but I also want to see the Queen’s mildly disdainful yet polite demeanor. And the protesters and Fat Nazi’s outrage would be good to see.
I imagine that the Queen will be cool and professional. And it will drive Fat Nazi crazy because he will know that the very people he wants to bow and scrape to him will not be impressed. He will not get the cordial meeting and royal connection that President Obama got.
I wonder if another royal family member with be with the Queen to provide support.
“The Queen shouldn’t have to meet with Nazis.” Prince Phillip’s sisters were married to Nazis. His sisters had baby after baby just to get the medal awarded by Hitler to women for having large families to support the Reich. Kaiser Wilhelm was Queen Victoria’s grandson. Her family knows Nazis.
Plus, Princess Michael. Wasn’t her father a member of the Nazi party?
Yep. It had to be said. Nazis are not foreign to the BRF.
Prince Philip fought against the Nazis. He served on several ships and even saved one of his ships from German bombers.
To state that the BRF was not stranger to Nazis because of his relatives without mentioning that is disingenuous.
And that was the reason Prince Phillips Sisters were not invited to the Queens wedding. His family was one of many how were broken up over their standing towards the third reich. His mother sheltered yews during the second world war.
The Queen, as far as I know, has never embraced Nazis, biological family or not.
Exactly. Her uncle was in the RAF during the war and died in a crash. Both her parents did a lot of good work during the war and were very popular as a symbol against fascism. Hitler even called her mother the most dangerous woman in Europe.
Find it shady that Queen Elizabeth is now being smeared as not being a stranger to Nazis because of Philip’s relatives, even though they were not invited to the wedding and both she and Philip served during the war.
His mother was welcome, though. Even though she’s been committed. She sheltered Jews during the war. And TQ never invited her Nazi uncle to anything.
The Nazi party was the national army of Germany, all members of the military were of the Nazi party. Prince Philip’s sisters were married to German aristicrats, ergo members of the Nazi party during wartime. I will stand corrected if you have some other proof besides them being in thier national military, but to my knowledge none of them were involved in any atrocities. Further more, I cannot sit here and allow your enormous privilege to taint other women. This was in the late 30s and 40s how do you expect sexually active people to keep from having children? Thier own mother had a very sad marriage to a serial cheated who ran off to the Riviera and and left her and her children with nothing and she had five children with him. Do not presume motive from circumstance.
Nope. Don’t do this. Don’t normalize or condone. There’s no such thing as a good Nazi.
Not a good Nazi just people who were German fighting in the military. Or shall we throw all of Germany, millions of people out now? Should we cancel Italians or Russians or Japanese? Nuance please.
Nazi soldiers were Nazi soldiers. This is a fairly firm line. As aristocrats, did they not have the means to defect when they saw what Hitler was doing in the late 1930s?
Hindsight is 20/20. We forget that the worst was found very late into the war. Moreover, they were land owners. All thier money came from thier land, most people would not wilfully bankrupt themselves and thier family. I can see will will not agree, good day.
Stop. I can take a lot of insensitive nonsense from people but I am not up for this excuse making. Nazis were evil and plenty of Germans courageously stood down and didn’t actively participate. Some risked their lives and lost them for protesting so let’s not forget their courage.
Aristocrats had the money to leave and decide to not be a part of it and some did but others did not. They stole MY family’s fortunes and property for their own and took advantage of the Holocaust to enrich themselves even fingering wealthy Jews out of envy. We have been in a decades-long legal battle against these people to get our rightful belongings back. So spare me this empty argument.
You can’t rewrite history. These women could have left their husbands. They had the means and connections to do so and chose not to.
Poor and middle class women were different. I get their trap. But rich women? No.
Another note: Aristocrats knew well in advance what Hitler’s beliefs were so to say they woke up one day to realize it is just false.
I’m so sorry for your family’s pain, Magnolia. I agree with you 100 percent.
The writing was on the wall for about a decade in Germany. Let’s not pretend that Hitler was low key about his agenda. Aristos knew.
Thank you, Enn. 🙂
We got some things back but my children’s children will likely still be trying.
I don’t have a lot of patience for excuses made for wealthy people. Wealth is the freedom to make the right choices and do the right things most of the time and affords safety those less fortunate don’t have.
In my view, the most useless people in the world are lazy and rich.
Aristocratic Nazis are the epitome of useless only they took it several steps further and benefitted from it.
I agree with everything you say, Magnolia Rose. If you are wealthy, more is expected of you to make the right choices, that is, not abuse others. I would add to your statement that, “the most useless people in the world are lazy and rich” is that they are greedy too. It is not the poor who are a burden, it is the greedy.
@Angelbear
> Further more, I cannot sit here and allow your enormous privilege to taint other women.
then get the fuck out, you nazi-sympanthiser scum! the enormous privilege you speak of is the one enjoyed by the rich aristocrats and their wives and mistresses. There’s no excusing that. In the present, the enormous privileges are enjoyed by orange hitler and his utterly corrupt and vile family.
> All thier money came from thier land, most people would not wilfully bankrupt themselves and thier family.
Oh yes. Boo fucking hoo. Didn’t their victims have jobs or homes or families? They had people gassed to death, supported human experimentation, tore families apart. But yes, they have your sympathy. None for their victims. Just listen to yourself. You’re actively sympathizing with the worst of humanity.
So what @Carol, is HM responsible for all that happened before her or for decisions other people made? Sorry I just don’t get your argument. If anyone of her family members were nazis that that make HM a nazi and thus warrant her meeting with Trump if she doesn’t want to? He grandson was tarred and feathered and almost drugged through the London streets when he made such poor judgment wearing a swastika at age 19!!! He was at the age when many if us have made stupid decisions and done things we regret, but none of that was taken into consideration, it was given to him really good, he apologized and I’m my books he atoned for his stupid decisions. But prince Harry’s stupid mistake was still was not blamed on HM, it was blamed on Harry and he bore his own cross. Why should other family members’ decisions to be nazis or their associations with nazis be blamed of TQ?
Really, the Queen has never shown she is open minded or progressive. She may want to meet with him. They may agree.
No. That is false.
Any time now, LAK.
The Queen went against her own constitutional role, the one and only time I am aware of her doing so, to go against Thatcher and express her support for sanctions against apartheid South Africa. The Queen served for this country in the ATS in WWII. Philip was a hero in the Royal Navy in WWII. Philip’s mother hid Jewish friends in Athens in WWII and is recognised as one of Yad Vashem’s Righteous Among the Nations.
People are not responsible for the actions of their relatives. They are responsible for their own actions.
Wilhelm II wasn’t a Nazi… He wasn’t a great guy by any means, but he wasn’t a Nazi. He had been booted out of Germany well before then. He disagreed with a lot that Hitler was doing, but played nice enough with Hitler in the hopes that he could get his throne back. This does not make him a Nazi.
A woman at 92 should not have to meet a man who has no manners and no decency and who is not articulate and who wears a dead hamster on his head.
Pretty much this.
So much this. All I can see is his ass face mouth puckered up to kiss her cheek because he thinks that’s what fancy royal people do. UGH!!!!
He wouldn’t dare now would he? Yuck, she can duck. 😉
No one should have to meet Fat Nazi/Darth Vader. It’s definitely too much to ask that lovely lady to meet him and have to suffer through his cheek kisses and general drooling over her royal self. He’ll be more insufferable than usual because he’ll want to impress TQ. I’m humiliated just thinking about it. He is the horror that just keeps on giving.
Love these comments so far!
Sociopathic narcissists cant stand it when theyre not welcome and/or shunned altogether. It’s possible he’ll still show up though. I laughed out loud at the line: doubting that the Sussexes will be forced to meet with the evil dotard.
@ Natalia
I’m going to go ahead and predict that they trot out the entire BR family for Trump. Even the Sussexes. (Especially the Sussexes). We’re going to find out that:
1) That train ride the Duchess had with the Queen was not for nothing. And all the subsequent pampering? Girl is about to find out the very steep price for all that.
2) Papa Markel’s recent “slip” that Harry asked him to “give Trump a chance”, was very convenient indeed.
So yes. I predict trump will have the full red carpet privately laid out for him on this trip, protests or not.
He will get to meet ALL important members of the firm, no matter how reluctant they are.
Because Brexit and/or Trade.
It is not a State visit, just a work visit. So no big dinner, maybe a cup of tea and a cookie.
@ C.Remm
we’ll see about that….. 😉
As said, it’s not a state visit, so none of the other royals will be required to be there. And if asked to meet them Trump and Ivanka (who I’m sure will come along) will be told everyone is busy, for the various reasons already listed.
I really don’t think William OR Harry want to meet the man who more or less stalked their mother and openly said he would have made her take an HIV test if she HAD dated him. Being that Harry isn’t a direct heir anymore (three of Wills kids ahead of him), he sure a heck won’t be forced to. Only the Queen could order him to do it, and I don’t see that happening.
That “slip” wasn’t a slip. That was Piers trying to get an “in” for his pal Trump AND semi-embarrass Harry (who’s close with the Obamas) since Piers blames him for Meghan not inviting him to the wedding. (Even though they only talked though twitter DMs and he only met her in person once).
@BellaDuPont
Interesting points, but I think the Queen is much smarter than that. Her subjects would have a hissy – rightfully so – and then her recent grooming of the new Duchess would for naught.
^Other reasons too, but that’s a start.
No one should have to meet with someone like 45.
However, Brexit was based on the same mindset as what elected 45 so there are other ways to look at this. The UK will need trade desperately when Brexit kicks in so Idk. I defer to the Brits on this one.
She’s been a monarch for 60+ years; I’m sure she’s met worse people than Trump.
I think he will meet her, and maybe Charles, and it will be awkward and cold and people will keep showing pictures of the Obamas meeting members of the royal family side by side with pictures of him meeting them and it will just piss him off.
I bet Ivanka goes and tries to meet Kate and/or Meghan and that will be shut down. Meghan is “just getting back from an international trip” and Kate is “on maternity leave.” the timing works out well for both of them, thankfully.
I also would not be surprised if William skips it.
Is that week Wimbledon? Because it would be kind of awkward if Kate and/or William go to Wimbledon but refuse to meet Trump, lol. but I wouldn’t blame them.
“just getting back from an international trip” 😁
Yes and already planing the next one, since she and Harry are ordered to visit France ……. at the beginning of August. Planning is so time consuming. 😉
Meghan is just so busy! Newlywed life, princess classes, etc. She would love to be at Windsor that day but darn. Just can’t make it.
What, they going to France too? I didn’t know that! I read there’s another outing with HM about next week, not sure if its true.
Yes its the 100 anniversary of the Battle of Amien WWI, I think.
And David Beckham will be among the guests when the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex host a reception at Buckingham Palace to present awards to the Queen’s Young Leaders for 2018 on June 26.
Woot woot woot woot, very excited about this. Can’t wait to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex again, don’t care if they wear sackcloth or whatever, I still love them and can’t get enough of them.
13 July is men’s semifinal day at Wimbledon. I would never normally want this, but I hope Kate is there in the royal box with Pippa and Carole, flaunting her absence in Trump’s face.
Meghan approached Ivanka for an interview for The Tig and this was granted. Meghan was gushing over her but it led to no more contact. So there’s that.
That was then, you talking something that happened in 2014, 4 years ago. This is now, 4 year later, times change and so do people, so there’s that too. And Ivanka responded to Meghan’s email with answers to questions that had been asked. Why are you saying she expected more contact than she got, maybe that’s where Meghan expected it to end. Do you have any proof or evidence as to what exactly Meghan expected out of it?
After reading about her corgis yesterday, I want him to show up and trip on a Corgi. Splat right there in front of the world. The best part would be seeing the slight curl of Queen Elizabeth’s lip into a sly smile.
I reckon the Queen knows better than to let her corgis anywhere near that tub of lard. They’ll probably end up ripping his trousers right off his fat, oily ass.
Which might be exactly why she would let them meet him.
Don’t forget, she once terrified the late King of Saudi Arabia by driving him full speed through Balmoral. Women were not allowed to drive in his country then. Of course, she drove like a boss and nothing happened.
Don’t underestimate her when she wants to make a point.
@Flan
OMG I forgot about that! She really laid it on him!
@Neelyo
I love that visual! Corgis generally rule when it comes to the big Diss, athough my stepbrother had a Corgi and he was the sweetest kindest little dog you ever wanted to meet – even after being kept in a cage as a stud for the first 5 years of his life (from which he was rescued).
I do believe that if this meeting happens the Queen should round up every single canine she still has and bring them with her to the meeting. Then she can sweetly smile and when The Dotard is not looking, curl her lip.
Question: are any of the Dorgis male? (For tipping up on the peemaster’s leg 😇)
I vote for St. Bernard pheromones to be sprayed liberally on whatever seat he will be inhabiting. Corgis believe they are the biggest dogs around and I imagine they would really put an effort into their pee-formance.
On a lighter note – I like what the queen is wearing today. the neckline on that coat looks nice on her.
Oh don’t worry about his ego – with Theresa May’s head so far up his ass, it will still get a good stroking.
Re: Charles. I was watching the Windsors documentary on Netflix (it’s great by the way) and apparently, Charles caused a little incident when he wouldn’t meet with a Chinese delegation because of China’s actions in Tibet. It was maybe 20 years ago but don’t sleep on Charles possibly “forgetting” to show up for the cheeto.
He did it again in 2015 (had one on one talks with the President of China, but refused to go to the banquet held in his honour)
I honestly can’t wait to see what happens. My money is on Trump cancelling, but I will be so happy if he shows up and the Queen puts him in his place (Like she did with King Abdullah back in the 90s)
While I’m sorry she has to waste one moment on Orange Baby Hitler, some part of me is optimistic she can bring the subtle shade. I’m thinking of the time she drove the Saudi leader around before driving restrictions on women were lifted in his country. And in my dreams she’s thinking “F**k it, I’m 92” and REALLY brings the shade.
If Charles has a “scheduling conflict” I may just love him a bit too.
Haha, I just said the same thing above, that would honestly make me so happy.
This is so FRUSTRATING, she shouldn’t meet with him and his daughter, her husband and his wife. I cannot handle the gloating pictures from the clan knowing that he is destroying America and not truly representative of this country. Damn his voters and all those that sat out the election.
Who the fuck does this loathsome dictator think he is to dictate to our Queen! This isn’t his damn country! Who died and made him Emperor of the World?
Fuck Theresa May and her craven party for putting us in this situation, running like a desperate tween to hold his hand, begging for a trade deal because they self-destructed over Brexit, and knowing full well we’re going to be cheated because he does it to everyone. FFS!
Seething right now. What the hell?
I know how you feel, it still sucks that he set foot on my country for a stupid photo op with Kim. $20 million dollars on that idiot! If it were election time, don’t think my PM dares to pull this move.
True, but he was voted in and the Queen was … not. “Who died and made him Emperor of the World?” No one. But the Queen? Her family actually were pretty zealous on that Empire and Emperor crap. Trump is a cretin. But your whole spiel is a bit misguided. Holding up the Queen as a great bastion of the common decent person fighting against Trump’s imperialist ambitions is a bit rich.
@A, What do you mean? The queen is not responsible and shouldn’t be held accountable for decisions made by her ancestors!!!! I’m from Africa and my country was colonized and robbed of every mineral we had, by our colonizers; I’m African, my ancestors were killed in droves and many taken into slavery to work for the white folks of that time. Should I hold a grudge and hold everyone that is from the white man’s land responsible and accountable for all the atrocities committed on my people by their ancestors? Don’t be ridiculous.
The Queen is a thousand times more respected around the world than President Trump.
And with reason.
Flan- She is? For what reasons is she respected internationally?
The frightening thing is he might knock her down. She is a little fragile and he’s such an ill-mannered oaf with no respect for anyone but himself. I still wonder what my fellow Americans were thinking.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. The monarchy’s history is based on what Trump is saying and doing now. That’s how it got it’s fortune. I know there’s a lot of love for the Queen herself but this is also the chicken coming home to roost, you know?
The way I see this, History is meant for us to learn from. When people argue about how the British empire is built upon conquering of other people, I just fail to understand because ALL empires were built upon ravishing indigenous peoples of this world. The white folks (or in some cases fairer skinned folks) would raid and rob the indigenous people of everything including their dignity, they would kill their males and older females, they would rape their females and do whatever they wanted with them, they would kill to near extinction or enslave these indigenous peoples and who ever were left were forced to abandon their tongues and cultures and forced to learn the white man’s language, religions and cultures. This is the case with British, French, Portuguese, Spanish etc colonies. It is the case with USA, NZ, Australia, Canada etc. Yet many white folks hold their heads up high and are proud to be Americans, Canadians, Australians, etc. None is being held responsible for what their ancestors did to other peoples. Is this only reserved for TQ? I mean, Im African and thus have no horse in this race, but some of the arguments on here sound…..hypocritical..for lack of a better way to say it?
As head of state the Queen has met far FAR worse people than Trump. She will as always, smile and be polite, because that’s the job.
Who has she met who is worse? Not challenging you, just honestly curious.
Not irene, but here’s an answer: Mugabe, Assad, Ceausescu, Putin, Nazarbayev. There have been plenty of others, but those are the ones I can think of right off the top of my head. It’s the worst part of her job.
@Madame de Stael – thank you!
Add on King Hassan of Morocco, to Madame de Stael’s list + https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jan/30/donald-trump-state-visit-uk-controversial-tradition
All leaders meet people they’d rather not; long-lived monarchs unfortunately have to put up with more than their share.
Don’t worry, the Fat Nazi will probably say/do something to get himself banned from England before then.
The Queen can’t get out of this (unfortunately), but I suspect Charles will have a “scheduling conflict” or something. He got out of meeting the Chinese leaders like a decade or so ago, I think he’ll have not trouble getting out of this one.
I suspect Harry and Meghan will stay in Ireland for an extra day or two, so they have a plausible excuse to avoid it all. (Hell, the Queen herself “requested” them to go to Ireland that week – I don’t think that was a coincidence). And Kate’s out is the maternity leave thing as said, so William can just beg off saying “personal family business” since it’s been announced Louie’s christening is happening the day before Harry and Meghan head to Ireland.
None of them need an excuse because they aren’t the Monarch. Only QEII is meeting with him as the Head of State, nobody else needs to release a statement about why they can’t attend. But I have heard a rumor that Prince Andrew will accompany The Queen. Not sure how true that is.
Oh come on. Ivanka probably is going to come with him, and likely REALLY wants to meet Harry and Meghan and Will and Kate. She’s that type, and probably is mad she didn’t get and invite to the Royal Wedding. And Trump is just as self centered. He too would/will probably ask to meet them as well. Weasel Piers Morgan has clearly trying to get buddy Donnie and “in” with the royals too, including that BS that Harry talked to Tom Sr. about him.
Yeah I’m sure Harry, close friends with the Obamas, really has anything nice to say about the man who talked openly about practically stalking his mother for a date and saying he would have made her take an HIV test if he could have. (Yes, Trump really did say that about Diana).
Not being anywhere close to the throne, it’s easy for Harry and Meghan to get out of ever having to meet them though.
Kate is on maternity and Harry and Meghan will be coming back from a trip. Doubtful any of them will meet with any Trump or US official.
William might out of obligation.
Queen Betty seems to be in the IDGAF phase of her life. I hope she lets him have it.
Throw him in the Tower. Take the keys and lock him up, my fair Cheeto.
A tall overweight old man with orange hair?? No, I do not recall seeing him. *innocent*
He’s not that tall.
Henry VIII is still ghosting around there, apparently. Don’t think even he wants Trump around, though.
Expect some doors slamming unexpectedly.
Seriously, where’s Lak? She always comments on royal posts, and she hasn’t in days. Same as Sixer disappearing. I miss their comments.
I second this.
Hope they are OK.
Sixer! And Liberty. I miss their comments, too. I hope LAK is just on holiday.
Hopefully she will be frosty-formal with him and then we will get to hear all about the shade from someone in the palace. He also thinks that people who have pets are low class, so let the doggies glare at him while she smiles.
She’s going to insult him in the best, British, subtle way. But the dumb SOB will be too stupid to get it and will come back saying she sang his praises. This is exactly how I picture it. Oddly, Melania will know they’ve been dissed but will put a brave plastic face on it.
We will make sure he has a proper British welcome committee. Shame we font do boiling oil snymore
I hope she spends the entire visit with the expression of smelling something that’s been dead for several days so ALL of the pictures tell the right story. I just want every photo to say “We fart in your general direction!” Bonus points if Ivanka tries to go for a Michelle Obama-esque hug (you know that sniveling little weasel totally would) and gets shut down. Double bonus points if she touches the queen without leave and gets her fake, Janice-from-the-Muppets-looking nose and lips tazed off. Is that petty? Yes, and I need this. I was up half the night with nightmares of little immigrant kids being shoved into ovens.
If Charles slips away I never want to hear anything about him ever again. $20 says if he does show up, Trump says something disgusting re: Kate, Meghan, or even Diana. Remember how right around her death, Trump was going on about how he TOTALLY almost dated her? Hell, maybe that’s why he hates Muslims so much, knowing that not one, but TWO middle eastern guys got to be with her and he didn’t.
Oh god, I hope he makes a grab for the “crown jewels” and ends up beaten by the RPOs for his trouble. Not that I want anything to happen to TQ, but maybe actual video footage of him attacking an old white lady/the ultimate symbol of white colonialism might break the spell on some folks (which, yes, as much as it isn’t TQ’s fault, as much “modernizing” as they do, The Firm still TOTALLY is.)
I’m hoping Ivanka gets shunned completely. The Queen may have to meet with him but that doesn’t mean she has to agree to meet his spawn. Ivanka is nothing. Years ago, Laura Bush went to some event and brought one of her daughters but only Laura was allowed near the Queen. And again, as required by law, the Bush girls had to pay their own travel expenses. As “staff”, Ivanka bills it to the taxpayers. Why should I pay for yet another vacation for that beast?
Prince Charles has spoken up for Muslims for decades. I don’t think that meshes well with Trump.
Trump loves to spread the fear mongering rumors that Muslims are stabbing people all over the city of London. He does this on Twitter often. I wouldn’t want to meet with him if I could get out of it.
And Trump is going to London. If anyone stabbed him, they’d never be convicted.
I’m going to London on vacation and will be arriving the same day as Trump (7-13). I’m so p*ssed. I wanted to avoid this m*therf*cker on vacation.
Use it as an opportunity! Find a site where he is appearing, get yourself for poster board and glitter and make the most offensive sign you can think of within legal limits.
Join a protest. You will probably make instant friends.
I feel for you. We had a pointless PR visit that wasted so much taxpayer money and created absolute havoc on our streets back in late April. Key West isn’t a big place to begin with and he could’ve gotten his briefing via webinar instead of shutting down the streets and causing delays at civilian and military airports. Of course the local papers were up his ass and we had to take to social media to show the real story – the protesting crowds that were infinitely bigger than the tiny plot of supporters.
She’s 92 and the Queen. She doesn’t have to do shit. I hope he cancels like the little bitch he is.
She probably finds him vulgar but I doubt she disagrees with all of his policies. I imagine The Queen to be conservative politically and religiously.
Church of England is not like American overtly religious people and small c conservative is not anywhere close to Republican.
The Tories are similar to the US Republican party and I believe she is privately sympathetic to them. I don’t believe she is liberal or progressive at all (like Charles).
She’s obviously Conservative like many monarchists in this country (UK) are. I agree with Charles being Liberal but I don’t believe the Queen is the same way. Conservatives are like Republicans.
The Tories are not at all similar to the US Republican Party. The Tories support (nominally at least) the NHS. They brought in gay marriage. They support gun control. They have a lot to answer for (Brexit, Windrush), believe me, but they are not like US Republicans.
@Jessica, nope. While they might be more to the right than the labour party, they are not anywhere near the level of crazy that the Republican party is.
He better wear a hat. The corgis may think the thing on his head is a threat to the Queen and attack.
In regards to who could meet in the Queen’s place and throw good shade. I would suggest Princess Anne. She could through good shade and also would not hold back if 45 does something rude
“He better wear a hat. The corgis may think the thing on his head is a threat to the Queen and attack.”
LOL That is so good. 😀
Good one! Yes, please let him meet Princess Anne.
And Anne met Nixon.
Princess Anne would reduce him to a smoldering pile of orange turd ashes with her death stare. Then spit on his remains. Then the corgis would defecate on them.
I’m hoping for a massive tomato movement to make Spain jealous. Fill the Mall with squishy tomatoes all morning long, with millions on site to throw more at Trump’s motorcade. Also, start an inquiry into Trump’s money laundering at his Scortish golf courses. Make Question Time at Parliament realllllllllllly interesting!
Don’t forget the rotten eggs.
This whole thing makes me sick! Why is Ivanka coming??? Ugh…BP is going have to be fumigated. I hope the dogs piss, growl and bite them.
Ivanka’s coming with her nipples to keep her dadsband company.
😂😂😂😂😂 @Ivanka nipples keeping company. Yep Trump has always spoken favourably about Ivanka’s body and breasts. Theirs is a bizarre father/daughter relationship. Ivanka is more in the role of Trump’s wife than Melania.
They can always call in sick. He’s a germaphobe so he won’t be visiting if people are sick.
I Hope she meets with him.. At I hope she finds a way to shade the sh** out of him, like she did with the Saudi king.
She could just tell him she’s busy ’cause she’s got to wash her hair that day or meet with him and throw starburst at him during high tea. Either one would do.
There would be protesters anyway. I guess that’s why they’re going to Windsor, it’s more cut off than Central London and a lot harder for protesters to get to.
Maybe someone in Europe can take him out …
Trump had a bad PR week thanks to his immigration mess. The king and queen of Spain met with Trump at the White House reception and reporters YELLED questions at Trump about his locking up kids in front of the king and queen. Trump is not going to want another embarrassing photo op in front of royalty so that may determine who shows up in the UK.
Good to know, thanks for the laugh, aquarius64.
If he knows there will be massive protests, he will cancel. His ego can’t handle massive protests and the related optics..
I know he will be visiting Windsor but I still think there will be big protests in London and rightly so. That’s why he isn’t going anywhere near the capital lol.
Her uncle was a Nazi lover and taught her how to do a Nazi salute when she was a child, she is married to an old racist, her son made racist remarks and her grandson wore Nazi uniform. Why are we so sure she is totally against Trump?
Her father was installed as King BECAUSE of that. She wouldn’t be Queen if her nuclear family was on that side.
Yeah, her father wasn’t a Nazi sympathizer, but what about her husband’s and son’s racism or Harry wearing Nazi uniform and making racist slurs? BRF is a pretty racist bunch. Trump would approve such things I am sure.
You’re conflating a lot of very complex things. Racists and Nazis are not the same thing (most of the Greatest Generation who fought the Nazis were racist by modern standards), old people have attitudes that are regrettable sometimes, young people do stupid things that they regret. On the specific instance of whether the Queen likes Trump, we know she does not, because she criticised him on BBC TV, to Sir David Attenborough.
Oh, the young people Harry comment… Haha, he wasn’t a little child! He’s repeatedly said dumb, insensitive, ignorant, racist things. So funny how people excuse his behaviour. The epitome of white privilege.
I love how on this site people are forever defined by stupid things they once did. Even if they’ve apologised for them and gone on to do productive things, nope, forever tarnished.
@Tina, IKR? And yes, Harry was still a child at the time he wore a swastika, he apologized for it, case closed in my books.
Ugh, I was really hoping he’d be impeached by now. I’m sure William categorically refuses to meet Trump after his vile comments about Diana AND Kate.
I’d be ok with it if he met with Prince Andrew, no one else though.
God save the Queen. No really God, save the Queen.
Prince Charles met Trump at Maralago in the 90’s. We tend to forget that Trump has been around forever and probably met other members too. This is not to say that meeting him is something her Majesty will relish but she will likely smile politely and let him rave on and in 45 minutes it will be over.
She already met so many dictators and self proclaimed presidents. She knighted Mugabe! Trump is no big deal. She’ll smile for a few photos and offer him tea.
The King and Queen of Spain met Trump just a few days ago. Letizia had a private tea party with “Melanie”.
She should meet with the President of the United States. I just wish it wasn’t Trump. I hope liberals show up to vote.
Liberals, moderates…people with souls.
Poor Liz. Seriously. This woman has been a great leader for her country. Even if she is a figurehead, she lived thru The Blitz and 60 years of being Queen.
Better yet, my money is on The Queen. I hope she meets him and hands him his ass.
And yes, as someone said earlier..she’s been Queen 60 years, she’s met a lot of horrible world leaders during her rein.
“Charles, dammit. I said I’m not going to meet him. You go in my place. And take this Royal barf bag with you, you’re gonna need it.”
I don’t know much about the Queen. She’d have my admiration if she handed Trump his ass. Have there been examples in the past of her doing so with other world leaders? Isn’t she basically apolitical and if her handlers tell her to meet Trump, she will? The “special relationship” won’t save her from this. She’ll probably just be polite with him and have tea. I don’t think he’ll throw candy at her. Of course, she’ll have her security detail with her. What can go wrong?
She lived through the Blitz & now has to take on the Putz.
This could make for a really good betting pool. Will Trump cancel or won’t he? Will the Queen cancel or won’t she? Which other component parts of the royal family will make an appearance?
Who will find the event most distasteful? If Harry has to go and Trump insults Megan, will Harry win the game of bone-crushing handshake? Could Kate and Wills drop off their child for a visit with granny so he can shit and barf on fat Nazi Donnie’s lap?
OMG! I would pay $50 cash money to have any baby barf all over Trump. Totally worth it. How can we make this happen?
Good comment. People really forget this sometimes., kinda sad when I see POC forgetting their history too. The empire has done far worse, she can handle Trump!!
The Queen herself has not done any of these things. She’s met worse people than Trump and she can certainly handle this, but people are not responsible for the actions of their relatives.
Thank you @Tina and nor those of their ancestors. If we are going to blame ancestral actions on people, lets just not pick on HM, there’s lots of blame to go around AFAIC. And @KK, speaking for myself as a WOC, what makes you think having some opinion on HM not meeting Trump if she doesn’t want to is forgetting my history?
Totally agreed, Masamf. I’ll be out there protesting on 13 July, and I’m sure the Queen has more than enough sense to know that our protests are in no way directed at her.
@Tina, go go go UK people. Show Trump how its really done. If I were in London UK, I’d be on the streets protesting his sorry ass coming to my country. .
Queenie has met plenty of dubious politicians over the past 60+ years. One more won’t make much difference.
Send Tracey Ullman as the Queen. He won’t know the difference.
Oh please ! She has met with the worst dictators , despots and murderers in the world (including Putin and Erdogan) and never turned an eyelash. It’s part of the job, no doubt she will entertain the family by mimicking him when he has left for home,
