On edit: For the uninitiated, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is the kind of guy who says whatever is on his mind, and loud boorish, new money braggarts like Trump are exactly the kind of person he likes to take the piss out of.

meets Liza Minnelli and says "Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your caliber."

I'd like Phillip to say something like that to Melania. Though replace "bowling alley" with something less respectable.

And yes I could totally see him saying that, along with at least one “joke” about Trunps hair. The truth is that the American President is a powerful position in the world and Philip has met probably a dozen of them. And each time, I bet he thought he was the most important person in the room. This one, if it happens, won’t be any different. That’s just who he is. It’s become kind of endearing in his old age to be honest.

I like the one where Jean Harlow meets Princess Margot. Jean say 'hello, Margottt.' To which the Princess responds 'no, dear the 't' is silent. As in Harlow.'

Summer time she'll be up at Balmoral in the middle of nowhere Scotland. He'll be out of sight, out of mind and he won't get the "royal treatment" through the streets of london,


Just a guess.

The protests will bring the road to balmoral to a Halt. Based on some of the British Press this child migration separation is angering a lot of Europe.

Maybe he'll tell SHS to go out and get him a model of the Eiffel Tower as a souvenir of his trip to England. (Nobody ever said he knew about geography.)

If this were a state visit shed be obligated. This isn’t a state visit though.

Having read a lot about her and the rest of the family, over the years, and knowing how tedious and monotonous their lives can be, part of me thinks they’re just curious about the freak show. Sort of like the way someone might have paid money to see a bearded lady or goat boy at a county fair back when that was a thing.

They were quite warm with the Obamas, so I don’t think it’s about endorsing his worldview and politics, even if they might agree on some issues.

By the way, the meat goblin thing is brilliant.

18. Earlier, Drumph had demanded he ride in the gold royal carriage.
Wed Jun 20, 2018, 08:18 PM

Obama had ridden in a non-descript vehicle provided by the U.K. security service.

In the end, the Brits changed the status of IQ45's meeting from a royal visit to a meet-and-greet with Her Highness.

Thank God he won't get the carriage ride. If he did, he'd want one made for himself (only bigger and goldier) to ride in during his bigly ego-feeding military parade this fall.

BTW, if he gets his parade this year he'll want a bigger one next year. Just sayin'.

XI JINPING of China
IDI AMIN of Uganda

As well as several squalid "royals" from the Arab world (the King of Jordan is not squalid; most of the rest are)

She will deal with tRump with her constant dignity and grace. At this stage in her life, nothing or no one can tarnish or diminish her.

And if President Obama did it, he wants it too.

If he manages to get over there, I hope to hear the loud, unrelenting recording of crying children played all the way to the palace gates.

The Royal Family has to detest him on principle - so many reasons.

feigns confusion by saying "You said the President and First Lady were here, these cretins are not the Obamas."

(Seriously, my paternal grandmother told me faking confusion allowed her to get away with all sorts of stuff. She and her friend once crashed a private club they wanted to have lunch at by pretending they'd been there with a son. No one wanted to make a scene and chase the old girls out. But she said you really couldn't get away with it before 80.)
