Donald Trump was called “disrespectful” after stepping in front of King Charles to greet members of his administration who were present to meet the royal family.
King Charles and Queen Camilla, who visited the United States this week, were at the White House to meet with members of the U.S. government.
However, despite the king’s attempt to greet them, Charles was interrupted by Trump, who stepped ahead of him to shake hands with all the guests, preventing him from doing the same.
“Trump is so disrespectful. He literally cut in front of Queen Camilla while she was shaking hands. Every day is another embarrassment for our country,” said podcaster Brian Krassenstein while sharing a video of the moment on X.
The comment was echoed by Canadian journalist Mark Slapinski, who also shared the clip on his X profile and said: “Trump is a disgrace to the United States. Look at this disrespectful behavior.”
This is not the first time Trump has been accused of breaking royal protocol. He was seen patting King Charles on the shoulder while greeting the monarch at the White House, apparently going against the unwritten rule regarding the initiation of physical contact.
