President Trump and Melania inspected the Coldstream Guards, Britain’s oldest regiment, which has served in almost every major conflict since the Civil War.

They took a starring role in last month's Trooping of the Colour to celebrate the Queen’s birthday and guard Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle in their distinctive red tunics and bearskin hats.

And Her Majesty serves as the regiment’s Colonel in Chief.

There are no obligatory rules for greeting the Queen, and there are many ways to do it.

Neither President Trump nor Melania bowed or curtsied when they met Her Majesty today, even though it is usually customary to do so.

However, Her Majesty reached out a hand to the President as he was coming up the stairs, which she doesn't do with everyone she meets.
