Why the hell would the royal family even CONSIDER meeting with Trump after this?

Trump was asked about comments by Markle during the 2016 presidential election, in which she said he is “misogynistic” and “divisive.”

“I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty,” Trump replied.

Trump was also unaware that he will not receive an audience with Markle, who is on maternity leave.

“I didn’t know that. I hope she is OK,” Trump said.

Also in the interview, Trump claimed to be loved in the UK.

“Now I think I am really — I hope — I am really loved in the UK,” Trump said, as the country braces for massive protests.

1) dine with her, and
2) dine with her grandson, Harry, whose mother Trump stalked. He could have been Harry's stepfather if Diana hadn't been careful.

The Royal Family announced last month that Prince Charles is meeting Chump on the next visit. He drew the short straw, I guess. They're almost the same age, so maybe they're get along.

He has promised not to meddle. Also, the Queen will rush through the state banquet. She’s a fast eater.

Extreme faux pas, one never walks in front of the Queen! Unless you happen to be Chump, that is.
What embarrassing things will he do this time?

when he called Hillary a nasty woman. Weird how someone with a ‘very large brain’ has such a teeny tiny vocabulary.
