Report lists protocol breaches during King Charles and Queen Camilla US visit

cultureApr 30, 2026482,300

A report lists multiple protocol breaches by President Donald Trump during King Charles and Queen Camilla's four-day United States state visit, including a controversial remark at the state dinner. The documented incidents occurred during arrival and departure ceremonies, the White House farewell, and public engagements such as the Ground Zero 9/11 Memorial visit, where interactions diverged from established royal etiquette. Those departures from diplomatic norms matter because they risk embarrassing the monarchy, complicating US-UK relations, and undermining the ceremonial precision that state visits rely on.

It's genuinely wild to me how much King Charles III subtly criticized Trump this week, sometimes to his own face, and it all went right over Trump's head. All of it.

I will always deeply dislike Charles, not just for what he did to Diana but how he completely ignored his brother Andrew’s crimes for decades. But it’s been hilarious to watch him out-maneuver Trump this week.

There’s a language barrier probably

I cracked up at the Magna Carta reference. Idiot Trump had no clue

Yeah Trump is hella dumb. If you just say his name and sound pleasant he has no idea what you’re actually saying

I will never understand how he got as far as he has - daddy’s money or not. He has the intellect of a walnut.

You can see by Trump's face and reactions to the jokes at the dinner, that he didn't understand them and he was bemused that the audience laughed. He didn't get the references to history, and he can't read subtlety at all. He also is unable to tell a joke because he doesn't understand them.

Hey, Donnie passed a bunch of cognitive tests! It proves he's maybe smarter than a potted plant!

He was probably miffed that Charles didn't surprise him with a knighthood during the banquet.

Gotta remember there is a twelve hour delay with him....responses start after midnight 🤓🤓😆😆

He’s just not bright enough to understand anything remotely subtle. He’s confrontational. He’s used to praise and criticism being direct.

He only has ears for his own voice 🤦‍♀️🥵
