While US President Joe Biden is the only world leader allowed to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II with his own official vehicle and bodyguard, he failed to please his rival, Donald Trump.
Reacting to Biden being seated in the 14th row at the ceremony at Westminster cathedral, former President Trump reacted by saying, “This is where America came from in two years.” “If I were president, they wouldn’t be able to put me there,” Trump added. But the ranking according to experts would still be no different. According to the protocol, the front rows belong to the members of the Royal Family and the leaders of the countries where the Queen is considered the head of state.
INVITED BY WRONG
A debate about attendance at the funeral is also taking place in Denmark. The British Foreign Office issued an apology after Princess Mary of Denmark was “accidentally” invited to her Funeral. While normally each state leader is allowed to bring one guest, on September 13, the Danish Crown announced that the Crown Prince and his wife would attend the ceremony, as well as the Queen. It was understood that there was confusion in the invitations and it was reported that the Crown Prince was going to London without his wife, Princess Mary.
