This is from the tabloid The Sun, some details buried well down in the article:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9151413/meghan-markle-dodge-donald-trump-us-state-visit/
The president had wanted a carriage procession along the Mall after a ceremonial welcome on Horse Guards Parade in Central London.
But the US Secret Service vetoed the idea because of security concerns.
Instead, Mr Trump and wife Melania will be officially welcomed in The Queens back garden at Buckingham Palace.
Afterwards, there will be a private lunch for Mr Trump, who is also bringing four of his five children.

Maybe Guy can be pressed in the service, if necessary. I think he'd be glad to help.

(18,486 posts)Not only would she have to show deference to a REAL princess, but a BLACK one, at that.
I know Meghan probably doesn't want to be anywhere near those people, but maybe she could just pop in at the beginning of the meeting, take her curtsy from the pleather princess, and then go on about her business.

(63,221 posts)deserving of a meeting with the Queen. Who do they think they are? They must know they are hated in England by most of the population and certainly looked down upon by the royal family. Do they think that we will all be impressed?

Maybe he'll have a lame excuse. "It had a flat tire."
