How did Donald Trump disrespect Queen Elizabeth? In 2018, Trump twice broke etiquette within minutes of meeting the Queen at Windsor Castle. The Donald walked ahead of Elizabeth as they inspected the guard of honour. Turning your back to the monarch would be considered disrespectful and ignorant of basic etiquette. Earlier, Trump and Melania broke etiquette when they greeted the Queen, the President did not bow and Mrs Trump did not curtsy to Her Majesty. Bowing and curtsying are not mandatory in the 21st century, but they are considered a show of good manners and are practised by almost all first persons who meet the monarch.
