The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is said to be extremely reluctant to meet Prince Charles because of the pair’s differing views on climate change.
The President, who has previously said that climate change is a myth invented by the Chinese, does not want to take a lecture from The Prince of Wales who is a climate change campaigner, according to The Sunday Times.
Members of Trump’s administrative team instead want The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry to meet the President when he visits the UK later this year.
Speaking to The Times, a source has said: “Trump’s people are worried about an awkward moment, with Prince Charles saying ‘Why don’t you believe in climate change?’
“They do not want the President put in an awkward position where he’s being lectured. They want horses down the Mall, tea with William & Kate.
They want all that pomp and for it to go seamlessly, and one of the risk factors is Charles.”
The news comes a day after it was announced that Donald Trump had accepted an invitation from Her Majesty The Queen to visit the UK later this year for a State Visit.
British Prime Minister, Theresa May, confirmed at a press conference that President Trump and the First Lady, Melania Trump, will be travelling to the country later this year.
It is likely that the President will stay at Windsor Castle, partly due to major refurbishment works that will be taking place at Buckingham Palace.
Donald Trump (R-NY) has said that global warming is just part of natural shifts in the ever-changing world’s climate. In November of 2012, Mr Trump said on his official Twitter, “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
Of course he wants all the pomp and none of the discomfort…. that’s just so obvious.
Oh, so he wants the horses, the Mall and the pomp ?
What a dipstick.
I feel sorry for Liz. The UK government is obliged to invite him, but Lizzie has to do the catering and accomodate him.
I hope that if he gets the horses etc,. that they are gassy and Fart in his face. A Horse Fart for a TrumpFart.
Well this is interesting; but, did you not leave out the Queen. It cannot be a State Visit, it would seem without her as she is the “Head of the State” by acts of Parliament and her Coronation.
Charles is the next King ! Show some respect, you buffoon. This family has been brought up to be good mannered, polite , whatever the situation’ ; and gracious.There would be no “confrontation ” or “lecture ” , the Royals are better mannered than some .
I am waiting to see what Prince Phillip says to him. He is well known for his outspoken comments.
Prince Phillip’s eyes will be focused on Melanie !!.

In using the term “climate change deniers”, with its well-established connotations of Holocaust denial and its misrepresentation of sceptics opinions, Prince Charles shows his lack of respect for sceptics. Good mannered? Polite? Gracious? Sadly not…
What the heck are you talking about ? Climate Change has nothing to do with the Holocaust. British troops freed concentration camp prisoners, also. I have never seen such a stretch of the imagination as to link the Holocaust and Climate Change. And, learn to spell ! Do not bother to answer this, I don’t care to discuss it any further, you, all by yourself, are making a horrible comparison between the two subjects. Shame on you.
And he is not relunctant to meet the Duke after he made inappropriate comments about the holiday pics?
I am hoping they throw him in the tower, disembowel and quarter and toss into the sea. He is destroying my country in his first week!
That pathetic, bloated, orange gasbag makes me almost ashamed to be American. He just won’t deal with anyone who challenges his insane delusions. God help us.
Honestly, I am disgusted that Her Majesty has seen fit to invite him to visit the UK! I understand how diplomacy works but his acceptance by global leaders feels as though they/we’re normalising and legitimising his bigotry, racism and misogyny. I have been so angry this week; his inhumanity has shocked me (& I had very low expectations).
Do you realize how much unattributed gossip and speculation is in this fake news story. There is no attribution at all and the headline does not reflect the total speculation.
God blesse you both ,you are the beste both for change
Charles is the great
Charles is the next King
Not to worry. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Brits will greet the Orange Monster carrying signs to tell him to go home.
