Trump - Queen gift exchange

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump gave Queen Elizabeth II a flower brooch from Tiffany & Co. as part of the customary gift exchange during their state visit to the United Kingdom. The silver and silk poppy flower brooch was wrapped in a custom White House wood jewelry box.

The Trumps gave Prince Philip a personalized Air Force One jacket and a first-edition, signed autobiography by James Doolittle titled: “I Could Never Be So Lucky Again.”

The first lady received a silver box that featured rose, thistle and shamrock images similar to the ceiling pattern in Buckingham Palace's music room.

The queen on Monday gave President Trump an abridged first edition of Winston Churchill's "The Second World War" and a three-piece pen set. The president has indicated in the past that he does not read much because he does not have time. (golfing, tweeting, and watching Fox News?)

Thought this interesting:
"During the Second World War, he continued to serve in the British forces,
while two of his brothers-in-law, Prince Christoph of Hesse and Berthold, Margrave of Baden, fought on the opposing German side."
