Prince Charles flips a subtle middle finger at Miscreant45

[Tanuki]

The old "pretending to scratch my nose" maneuver!

1. @ 17 seconds

Subtle but a swift kick in the crotch would be more appropriate

[Blue_playwright]

2. If you watch Charles with the idiot

It’s plain he can’t tolerate him and is only doing his duty. He doesn’t hide his contempt as well as Mummy.

And given his 30-year green/climate journey and push? I understand why.

[CTyankee]

11. I have no love for Charles and Camilla after the way they carried on when he was married to

Diana. She was this beautiful young woman and he had no intention of even pretending to be faithful to her. And Camilla was just as complicit. I was heartbroken when Diana was killed. Charles treated her like shit.

[USALiberal]

18. Feel the same about clinton? Nt

[CTyankee]

19. Clinton was politically a very good leader (IMO) so there is no comparison there. But yes,

on personal, moral grounds Clinton acted reprehensively and I hold him at fault for the Monica Lewinsky affair. He was the most powerful man in the world and he could have easily prevented her from being in the White House, yet she was allowed in.

[Kingofalldems]

21. What does Clinton have to do with Prince Charles?

[CountAllVotes]

31. I've never been a fan of them

And, I agree 100% re: the late Diana.

That whole thing finished me off w/those two creeps. Ugh.

[mr_lebowski]

3. Someone may correct me but IIRC 'the bird' is a US thing ... so I kinda doubt he was doing that ...

The lack of a handshake though ... that was noticeable ... also how GREAT QEII looks, as usual.

8. No, it's ancient

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. As that notes, in the UK the two-fingered gesture is more traditional

and Charles is traditional.

[dflprincess]

29. Perhaps he wanted to make sure Trump got the message? nt

[greyl]

33. Obviously, that means Charles is an undercover American.

Apparently, Major Hellstrom "realizes" that they're imposters when Hicox throws up the "British" 3-finger signal instead of the "German" 3-finger signal when asking for 3 glasses. This is the popular interpretation, but a red herring.

27. Thanks. I learned something new today. I'll have something to talk about over Xmas.

[KentuckyWoman]

4. She is far more polite than I would be.

Get out of the way. I have 300 other guests.

She's 93 fer christ's sake. If I even make it that far not likely I'd be able to stand there for 2 hrs and make nice to decent people let alone assholes.

I've had the misfortune to know a few self centered people in my life but all of them could at least understand being considerate on some level - even if it was for selfish reasons. These people have nothing. I just don't see how the planet can possible spawn a more selfish and self centered bunch the Trump Inc.

[FakeNoose]

14. I know right?

They should at least give her a chair so she can sit during these assembly line ordeals.
Also I wonder what's so important in her pocketbook that she can't put it down?

[KentuckyWoman]

22. The purse is probably comfort

Her upbringing won't allow for a Queen who must sit. She has been active all her life. She still manages on a horse. If she gets to where the receiving line is too brutal then they will cut the guest list or something.

The purse keeps an arm busy. Ot is a trademark. It is a style. It might even hold glasses a hankie and ricola. In a pinch she has a weapon in case the grabber in chief gets frisky. Haha


She is an old school lady.

[Totally Tunsie]

25. Her Majesty also uses her purse as a signal to her staff.

She adjusts its position (on her left arm, on the floor, etc.) to let her staff know of her intentions such as cutting the chatter short, leaving an event early, etc.

34. If I make it to 93, no way I'm wasting 2 of my remaining hours on that piece of shit nt

[torius]

5. Melania is dressed as Big Bird

or a yellow stream, to stimulate her husband’s failing memory...

[BigmanPigman]

6. Maybe he just peed on her in their room.

Oh wait, they don't "sleep" in the same room or on the same floor, right?

[torius]

7. rofl

they like it to be filtered through antique beam i guess...

[eShirl]

10. or it's a golden "rain" poncho

[BlueMTexpat]

12. She reminded me more

of a yellow Bride of Dracula! Sheesh!

I did notice the lack of a handshake, however. I'm not really a fan of Chas & Camilla, for reasons stated by others in this thread, but I will give credit where it is due!

[Rorey]

30. She tries so hard

But she fails so often. That coat/cape thing is ridiculous, and she's worn that look before, and it was ridiculous those times too.

[3catwoman3]

35. And the magenta (or whatever) sleeves sticking...

...looked absolutely hideous with the gold.

Her taste in clothes is execrable.

[patricia92243]

9. He's holding up the line -he is such clod that he doesn't realize you are not

to spend so much time that you will knock other people out of the receiving line.

[FakeNoose]

13. Prince Charles doesn't shake Chump's hand in this video

Chump shakes Camilla's hand, but neither Elizabeth or Charles. WTF?!

Melania shakes hands with both Charles and Camilla, and I think it's protocol to not shake the Queen's hand unless she offers her hand first.

Charles may have subtly flipped the bird to Chump, but nobody noticed it.

[GopherGal]

15. Chump basically turns his back on Charles (and the camera)

The body language looks really odd. If Trump were turned forward, I'd think he was drawing out the time with the Queen for photos. But then, it looks like there's a camera on the opposite side as well that maybe he was playing to? Still, if you ignore the camera aspect, it would look like he's purposely trying to exclude Prince Charles from the conversation.

[GoCubsGo]

16. His sister, Anne openly refused to greet the Asshole and his dipshit wife.

20. Why is Melanie wearing a French's Mustard cape? Look how big her KIDNEYS are!

[2naSalit]

28. So, have you seen

those caramel wrap things at the grocery? they are sheets of caramel that you wrap around the apple. Well her cape reminds me of those only made out of French's mustard! Serial.

[11 Bravo]

23. I caught that!

Love it! Fuck off, Lard Butt.

[dflprincess]

32. Earlier in the Spanky & Big Bird were an hour late for tea with Charles & Camilla.

And, apparently Melania greeted Camilla with a kiss which simply isn't done. Though I doubt the Trump adminstration has someone who instructs them on protocol as past administrations have had.

Tacky, tacky, tacky.

Prince Charles has been taking on more of his mother’s duties recently. Sometimes, that means he is asked to do relatively placid activities, like on Tuesday morning when he handed out the Queen Elizabeth Prize For Engineering to the four scientists who invented GPS. Other times it drops him right into the belly of the beast—or rather, drops the beast right into the Morning Room at Clarence House. Before heading to Buckingham Palace for a reception hosted by the Queen on Tuesday, Donald and Melania Trump had tea with Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cambridge.

Like the 2018 visit where the Queen was left waiting, the Trumps were nearly an hour late by the time they made it to Charles’s residence. The original schedule had them arriving at 5:10 p.m., but they didn’t make it until 6:05 p.m., according to the Daily Mirror. According to CNN, the Trumps left after about 15 minutes at Clarence House.

The two couples posed for a quick picture in front of the fireplace, and everyone was clashing. Melania arrived wearing a yellow and purple Valetino cape, while Camilla wore a red dress. Trump wore a black suit, while Charles wore a navy one. According to CNN, a crowd of supporters cheered “USA” outside as they walked in.
