Speculating at extravagant length,theWashington Postwondered: “Was she [Camilla] letting us in on a secret? Making a joke? Alerting us to an indecency? … Some suggested it was a longing to flee her brash American guests.”
The president’s state visit was scheduled to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, but the trip has been repeatedly delayed sinceQueen Elizabethfirst invited him in 2017. He is a divisive figure in the U.K. andmocked London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, as a “loser” just as he was arriving on Monday.
