Donald Trump stirred controversy within hours of his UK state visit after breaking a key royal protocol in Windsor. He and First Lady Melania were welcomed by the Prince and Princess of Wales before meeting King Charles.
As William introduced his father, the King greeted Trump warmly. But during the guard of honor, the U.S. president caused a stir. Instead of walking behind the King as etiquette requires, he strode ahead, chatting casually with a guard. Tradition dictates that guests follow the monarch in strict order of rank.
