Princes Charles and William refused to meet Trump: report
By Avery Anapol - 07/15/18 08:06 AM EDT
Prince Charles and Prince William refused to meet with President Trump during his visit to the United Kingdom, according to London newspaper The Sunday Times.
A source familiar with the planning for the president and first lady Melania Trump's meeting with Queen Elizabeth II told the Times that Charles and William made it clear that they did not want to participate.
“This business of Prince Charles and Prince William not being there for the Trump visit was a snub,†the source told the paper. “They simply refused to attend. It’s a very, very unusual thing for the queen to be there on her own. Usually she is accompanied by somebody. Prince Charles has been substituting for Philip a lot recently.â€

He met with the real leader of the British government already. And he met with the Queen.
Charles and Wils are just being babies.

Charles is quite the radical in his old age. Maybe because he realizes he's not going to be King so he doesn't care whether the majority of Brits like his leftist endeavors. It's only natural that one of his sons take after him. Looks like it's Wils.

Maybe the Brits need a reminder we, as a Nation, don't give two poops about what their shallow-gene-pool "Royalty" thinks about us?

Trump sure did make 'em swoon over there.
The UK media hasn't been this distraught since Texan John Bryan was caught sucking the Duchess of York's toes.

"Princes Charles and William refused to meet Trump: report"
No great loss.
Who needs them?
The two of them are useless appendages of a dying country.
If they came here, I wouldn't "meet with them".
How's that?

@mystery-ak
Not so sure I believe it...I mean, they're both very mature now. I don't know if I can see the future king, who will have to meet with God knows what kind of people, stamping his foot over Trump.

Before Trump met with the Queen, one publication asked whether Wills and Kate would be joining them.
... Given that set schedule, it's unclear if President Trump (and first lady Melania) will have time to meet with other members of the royal family, such as Prince William and Kate — unless they decide to stop by for tea. This is especially true given that Prince William and Kate do not live at Windsor Castle, so it'd be a trek for them.
It's also feasibly not a trek they'd be quite so willing to make for this particular president. In his time as a public figure — before becoming president — Donald Trump made some pretty awful comments about Kate Middleton. Oh, and don't worry, the comments are still preserved on his Twitter feed, because of course they are. Back in 2012, an invasive photographer got pictures of Kate sunbathing topless in France. (In 2017, a judge ordered Closer, a French magazine, to pay William and Kate 100,000 euros in damages for publishing the photos.) Rather than condemn the invasive photographer, Trump chose to blame Kate for believing that she was in a private place.
"Kate Middleton is great--but she shouldn't be sunbathing in the nude--only herself to blame," he tweeted.
Perhaps not the best foot on which to start off a diplomatic relationship.
But the other reason I wouldn't expect President Trump to be meeting Prince William and Kate is precedent. When President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama met Queen Elizabeth in 2009, they did not meet with the princes. Although Barack, Michelle, and the princes have hung out (with some notable pictures to prove it), that didn't happen until well after the Obamas' first meeting with the queen. ...

You won’t. You’ll be pulling out the guns, Melania will come out of the plane in heels, and poof, firearms forgotten.
