However, others defended her, saying that this was a funeral and not a formal royal event, and therefore it would be right to offer some grace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The funeral comes as <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tyla.com\/us-news\">US<\/a> President <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tyla.com\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> makes his second official state visit to the <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tyla.com\/uk-news\">UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It is unprecedented for a US President to make two such visits, and protests are already underway against the presence of the divisive US leader on UK soil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">During his visit, Trump will meet the King, as well as spend time with senior figures in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\"><\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lip reader has &#8216;revealed&#8217; the words exchanged by Prince Andrew and Prince William in a recent public meeting.
