But beyond the theatre, the proudly unpredictable 45th US president is rocking the boat with the US’s closest ally, whose political establishment has been in chaos for months over Britain’s departure from the EU. Trump had lunch with the queen before the monarch’s second son, Prince Andrew, accompanied him to Westminster Abbey where the president laid a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
He also called for arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage, a scourge of May’s ruling Conservative Party, to conduct talks with the EU.
