P. Chuck may have had a more pressing engagement.

THE QUEEN was left to take on her royal duty alone when she met Donald Trump and wife Melania, with Prince Charles and Prince William refusing to join in the elaborate welcome.
Senior members of the Royal Family, including the first and second in line to the throne, had informal discussions about the trip, and let it be known they did not want to take part in arrangements for the US President’s four-day UK visit.
Downing Street and Buckingham Palace both said as Trump’s tour of the UK was not an official state visit, there was a singular plan to meet the Queen alone with Melania Trump drawn up.
But a source said senior courtiers discussed which royals should meet the controversial president and shared the same concerns as William and Charles.
Prince Charles allegedly had a board meeting for his AG Carrick company, while the Duke of Cambridge was playing in a charity polo match and Prince Harry had private engagements.
The source told the Sunday Times: “This business of Prince Charles and Prince William not being there for the Trump visit was a snub.
“They simply refused to attend. It’s a very, very unusual thing for the Queen to be there on her own.
“Usually she is accompanied by somebody. Prince Charles has been substituting for Phillip a lot lately.”
And speaking of Phillip, who retired from formal royal duties recently, the source said: “He goes to what he wants to go to, and if he wanted to be there he could have been.”
Prince Harry is good friend with previous Preisdent Barack Obama, with the pair teaming up to promote the Invictus Games in the past.
And Harry’s new wife Meghan has been a vocal critic of Mr Trump before she became a royal, and therefore having to steer clear of making political statements.
Before her relationship became known, she spoke about supporting Hillary Clinton for her Democratic Presidential campaign.
She said at the time: "Im voting for Hillary Clinton, not because she is a woman, but because Trump has made it easy to see that you don't really want that kind of world that he's painting."
During Mr Trump’s UK visit he broke royal protocol – seemingly by accident - by failing to bow to her Majesty and then walked on in front of her when the pair were inspecting the guard.
A Whitehall official also revealed that Mr Trump’s one-on-one time with the Queen was kept to a “bare minimum”.
The official said: “The Queen will do her duty, but among the wider family, they were not as enthusiastic as they were when Obama came over.”
Last year, it emerged that Mr Trump as reluctant to meet Prince Charles, due to their polarising stances on climate change.
Mr Trump’s aides looked to hold a meeting with the younger royal officials, which were rejected, while a proposed golf match with Prince Andrew were largely ignored.
A minister admitted that there was concern about Trump’s working visit to the UK, denied that a formal invitation was rejected.
They said: “They might have had a view that they were happy not to do it but it is not true that it was on the cards and they refused to do it.”
A Buckingham Palace source said: “This was not a state visit and the involvement of other members of the royal family would be different.
“There was never any approach by the government or others, formally or informally, to Clarence House, Kensington Palace or The Duke of York’s office.
A Downing Street source reiterated Buckingham Palace's official view, clarifying: “This was always going to be just the Queen.”
It is a snub of the America people and country. Not forgiveable.
To couple that with GCHQ conspiring with FBI and CIA to frame Trump and spy on his campaign is an act of war, and the Dems and IC who conspired with them are guilty of treason.
Can’t wait until these smug pukes are laughing out of the other side of their mouths.
Well, whattaya know. Turns out "fake news" is the same in English as it is in American.
Bowing down to Jihadists, which is what is common in the UK, that’s why the UK has turned into a sh*thole
In a way I am glad our President didn’t have rub elbows with the Queens pack of inbred misfit losers.
But honestly, who cares what these inbreds think. They're totally irrelevant.
My relatives for the most part never came from anywhere near GB. Perhaps 1/8th came from GB. I’m an octoroon Brit.
Actually I believe it. Charles is a f’n idiot that’s well known. Harry’s wife hates Trump that’s well known too. So you end up with the fools snubbing a US President and the First Lady. Good move idiots. Trump doesn’t forget this kind of thing. Especially when it comes to Melania.
P. Chuck may have had a more pressing engagement.
So the royal brats snubbed our President and our First Lady. Are we supposed to care about that? If so, why?
If I recall correctly, we fought a very long, very bloody war to get the hell away from these people. Oh yeah, and we won.
The next time Great Britain is attacked, they can call the Belgians for help.
Think about how very inadequate the beta males would have felt next to a very obvious alpha male. It is best that they didn’t attend.
If he is such a bad man how could they force their Matriarch to be alone with him.
I wonder how these people who are too good and moral to face Trump (or his supporters ) think this ABSOLUTE intolorance can possibly end well ...
The royals are struggling with their own irrelevance. Eventually they’ll probably be executed under sharia law anyway.
The queen has had relationships with US presidents going back to at least Eisenhower and perhaps Truman and Roosevelt to some degree.
She has seen them all. She is not a 21st century SJW worried about political correctness. She’s a woman from the 1940s.
I suspect that she understands and respects President Trump. Perhaps she would make note that Reagan was a bit more smooth and genteel, but I think she would say that Reagan was the closest to Trump among all the US presidents she has known.
Maybe her family can’t see it. It’s too bad they didn’t stick around and get educated about what red-blooded men are like. And BTW, Prince Philip is a red-blooded politically incorrect Alpha male. He is not well and cannot attend many events, but the Queen knows and likes that kind of man. I think that neither she nor her consort would see anything terrible in Trump.
IMO the Monarchy dies with Elizabeth The Muslim army is already in the Kingdom and Chuckles will hand it over. William and family and Harry are marked for extermination and they have to know it.
Classic stuff!
Don’t forget Dick Nixon, who is said to have had the highest IQ of any American president. Yes, even higher than Thomas Jefferson’s.
The whole Islamic world follows that practice.
