military songs. lunched with the queen and other members of the royal family. also present was prince harry, whose bride, american actress meghan markle, has been highly critical of the president. in an interview with the sun newspaper, president trump said i didn t know that, what can i say, i didn t know she was nasty. the quote raced around the world, president trump took to twitter to insist i never called meghan markle nasty. an audio recordings as he did say it but the president goes on to say i m sure she will do excellently. meghan markle did not attend today s ceremonies, citing maternity leave. president joyce had president trump had choice words for sadiq khan. sadiq khan wrote in years to come, i suspect this state visit will be one that we look back on with profound regret and acknowledge that we were on the wrong side of history.
we have been listening to military songs. this is really about the military bonds between the two nations. number one, people will remember a year ago in july of 2018 when they reviewed the troops it was president trump with queen elizabeth. this time he s doing it with the prince of wales. is there significance in that? i suspect the queen might have gotten a little bit involved here on behalf of president trump. by allowing prince charles to take the president forward there is a clear seniority line there. the president would be clearly superior to the prince of wales. there wouldn t be confusion. i suppose the queen would have been involved in the decision to let the prince of wales host him. also quite unusual perhaps that the president would speak to members of the guard. you can see the senior member of the guard introducing him to members of the guard.
