Prince Phillip retired from public duties this last year. Personally, I’m glad she met them alone. Her beaming smile, her happiness to be at her beloved home where her husband may have been close by, why not? She represents England of the 40’s onward. Donald is very much a throwback to that same era in his attitude, toughness, kindness, generosity and loyalty. I liked the way she guided him on their promenade. His expression said to me, “I can’t believe I’m walking with the Queen”. Perhaps he was thinking of what his beloved mom would have said?
Did anyone notice that the Trumps didn’t bow or curtsey to the Queen?
You’re right. I forgot he retired. It occurs to me that Prince Phillip has a reputation for being blunt, and saying the wrong thing at times, not unlike President Trump.
Is it still protocol to bow and curtsey to the Queen?
