US President Joe Biden violated royal protocol at the G7 summit by being late for a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, the Daily Mail writes
The publication notes that according to the protocol, members of the royal family should be the last to arrive at the event. However, Biden and his wife Jill arrived five minutes later than Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles and Camilla.
Royal protocol requires guests to be present prior to the Queen’s arrival for any formal event. Despite the late arrival of the American president, the queen amiably communicated with the guests, including Biden. This was the first meeting between Elizabeth II and the head of the White House since he took office as head of state.
