The tomb of the unknown warrior. Now at any moment hes set to be arriving at Clarence House to join Prince Charles and wife camilla for the most british of british events possible, a proper tea. State visits like these, thats the entrance of Clarence House were looking at and well bring you the live moments as they come, as the president has just left, leaving Westminster Abbey. We see Prince Charles and the duchess of cornwall walking out now. They will be greeting obviously the president and the first lady as they arrive. These state visits, though, these are close relationships, symbolize the close relationship between two nations. And were seeing that on display right now. Lets watch. Lets listen. As we see it appears the president and the first lady arriving for the next of the events during this state visit. Arriving at the Clarence House, at Clarence House, to meet the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. Not that were going to hear much, but lets just listen for one second to see if there is something. Standing by. Prince of wales and duchess of cornwall waiting there to welcome oh. All right. In they go. Lets see what happens next. Thats the president and first lady heading into Clarence House. Let me bring in max foster. Hes been following all of it, ticking through all of the highlights and the schedule is tight. Theyre keeping tight with this schedule, max. But as you see, off to the next step, into clarnence house this morning. A lot to fit in. The schedule really is packed. It was put together by the british side, according to a uk official, and the white house didnt tinker with it at all, so this is all as planned. They have gone into Clarence House, the London Residence of the prince of wales, just around the corner from Buckingham Palace. The whole area has been closed down from traffic so theyre able to move around very quickly indeed. We are due to get another photo opportunity within Clarence House, which is this quite countrified mansion, really, in central london. Surrounded by lovely gardens, grated by the prince of wales, and theyll sit down, have tea, which is an utter nightmare for anyone not associated with the practice here in the uk. Theres all this tension around whether or not you should put the milk in first or the tea first or if youre allowed to use sugar, when you eat the cakes. What i will say is the duchess of cornwall is brilliant in these situations. She dissipates pressure in these moments. Shes a country girl at heart so she doesnt have much time for these sort of urban habits either. So i think shell calm things down, and theyll sit down, have a conversation. What would be fascinating is to be a fly on the wall, kate. Because prince of wales feels very, very strongly about certain issues. Religious tolerance and Climate Change are the two key ones. And obviously, President Trump is on the other end of the arguments. Fascinating to see whether or not Prince Charles brings it up. He can do it before hes monarch, at which point he has to be impartial. This is a bit of an opportunity for him. I cant let you go. Its funny. I always delight in how difficult it is. But it is also quite serious. These visits are all about protocol and etiquette. When it comes to a proper british tea, that is the definition of protocol and etiquette. The president met, had tea with the queen, during his last visit. Is the protocol any different when youre meeting with the heir to the throne . Well, you know, its probably a bit more relaxed. Youre not actually sort of more relaxed you have to throw up in air quotes, i think here. I mean, the one thing i would say about these teas is you dont know quite how to tackle it because you have a stack of various things to eat on the plate. If you go really traditional, you have hot plates coming out as well. I dont know whether theyre doing that today. If you get nervous about it, its so telling because youre holding this fine china and it rattles and its very easy to spill as well. Its a horribly stressful situation. If ever i get nervous, i dont drink the tea, i eat the cakes. I feel like max foster is speaking from experience on that one. Thanks, max. A fascinating moment. Then the big event sorry, carry on. Its also, and i find it unusual that were even going to see anything from inside. You said theres going to be another photo opportunity. Yeah, i think theyll be standing by a fireplace or something. You wont actually see them eating the tea. They dont let us film royals generally eating. Thats one of the protocols here. So donald trump gets off lightly on that side. All right. Max, please stick with us. We need you as we walk through these events. Well bring more of these events when that photo opportunity comes, well bring it as well. Max is standing by. Abby phillip is joining me now. Shes been traveling with the president. The state visits are used always, abby, as a moment to symbolize the close relationship between two nations. This relationship between President Trump and the uk, though, a more complicated than most when it comes to the special relationship. And that is look no further to see the evidence of that than comments that the president made basically almost as he was landing on uk soil in another back and forth with the mayor of london. And responding to old remarks from, what, two plus years ago from the duchess of sussex. Whats going on here . Theres never any shortage of drama, is there, kate, with this president . But particularly it seems when he comes over to the uk, theres always something that happens, and in this case, some of the drama happened before he even touched down on british soil. Over the weekend, he did that interview with the british tabloid, the sun, in which he called Meghan Markle nasty and then proceeded to deny that he called her that, even though his voice is recorded on an audiotape saying just that. And then over the weekend, the london mayor sadiq khan was criticizing President Trumps politics saying he disagreed with his rightwing politics, that he did not in sadiq khans view, stand up for American Values, but President Trump took it a step further, sending a tweet timed perfectly for just minutes before he touched down in an airport near london, and he called sadiq khan a stone cold loser. He said he reminds him of the very dumb and incompetent new york city mayor thats bill de blasio, and then President Trump criticized his height. So kate, this is clearly one of those visits in which President Trump even though it could have been just pomp and circumstance, he clearly went into it eager for a fight on some of these political fronts. But i think going a little bit perhaps too far for some in criticizing the duchess of sussex, Meghan Markle, for comments she made years ago, and then having to, you know, be in the presence of her husband, prince harry, at Buckingham Palace earlier today. So the tea is going to be awkward, perhaps, and tense for all kinds of moments, but not in the least because President Trump has, i think, made it quite stressful and difficult in the leadup to this moment. So far, though, everything seems to have been going well from a ceremonial perspective. The question is will President Trump let all of this go as this visit continues forward, or will he perhaps invite even more controversy as he starts to delve even further into british politics as the visit goes on tomorrow where some of these more political events are happening, with theresa may, the outgoing Prime Minister and potential other visits with some of the people who are trying to replace her. A great point, abby. Great to see you. Mouch more to come as were looking at some of the pictures from earlier this morning, as the president and first lady are now at Clarence House, beginning their tea with Prince Charles and camilla. Thanks so much. Joining me now for much more is cnn chief International Correspondent clarissa ward, and president ial historian douglas brinkley. Clarissa, this visit comes also as such a tumultuous time for the uk. It cannot be overstated how tense the situation is there politically. What do you think could come looking ahead past todays events even, looking ahead to the meeting tomorrow of the president and the outgoing Prime Minister, theresa may, and also this big question that still is lingering out there of whether or not he plans to meet with some of the Prime Ministers archrivals . I think thats the real question, kate. Everyone has been watching today with a degree of relief after the runup to the trip, there were all sorts of, you know, scandals surrounding his comments about Meghan Markle, surrounding his comments in the sunday times about theresa may and boris johnson. Today, largely, has gone smoothly. Its been a day of pomp and circumstance. And pageantry. And he has carried himself in the way that one would expect a u. S. President to carry themselves. The concern becomes tomorrow. Thats when we get into the political events. As you say, the United Kingdom right now is in a state of political turmoil. It is looking down the barrel at a very uncertain future. It does not know exactly it will exit the european union, so precisely because of that, this is a moment where the uk really needs to consolidate and cement all the alliances like of course the special relationship between the u. S. And uk. And the special relationship, kate, has come under a lot of pressure since President Trump took office. There have been major areas of disagreement, and fewer areas of commonality. So actually, tomorrow, i would expect politicians to sort of bend over backwards to avoid President Trump going off piece, going off script, and sort of digging his you know, digging his oar into the political process. And really trying to underscore some of the commonalities between these two countries, because ultimately, that is the purpose of this state visit, and in this moment, the United Kingdom needs its ally more than it has in quite some time, particularly when it comes to looking to negotiating a bilateral trade agreement with the u. S. Great point. Doug brinkley is here as well. Thats tomorrow, right, doug . Today, so much of any state visit is pomp and ceremony. Lets be honest, this, that is what President Trump likes. And that is what he is very good at. Well, yeah. We just saw the president come off of a trip to japan where he ate kobe beef and watched wrestling and everybody honored and bowed to him, and he absolutely loved that. Hes enjoying being feted in london right now. What creates a disparity, something that is discordant, is here he lands in london and disses on the mayor, who represents the people of london. At the same time hes being very careful not to spill a tea cup. So its, where the pomp and circumstance part is going all right, the politics, what could be more gauche that twitter when youre trying to deal with something as rich as British Heritage that we have been witnessing in places like Westminster Abbey and the like . But donald trump hasnt made any mistakes yet. Jimmy carter in 1977 famously kissed Queen Elizabeth ii on the lips, and she like backed off and later said it was creepy. Nobody had done that since her husband had died. And so donald trump hasnt done something thats going to be talked about decades later yet on this visit. But that tweet that he did about the mayor of london is going to live on. Yeah. Clarissa, the president , President Trump is dishing it out, if you will, as hes landing on uk soil. He was responding to a column written by sadiq khan. The president asked in an interview about comments Meghan Markle had made, the duchess of sussex, in years past. And he goes after her. I mean, you know, what the president said about them, not at all diplomatic, but they surely, in those remarks, werent holding back either. Does that color it does from the outside looking in, but how does that color kind of how this whole state visit is going to play out . Well, i think its important for our viewers to remember that this state visit has been talked about now for two years. And for two years, Prime Minister may has found herself battling whether its political factions, whether its ordinary british citizens, but a lot of people in the United Kingdom who dont have time for President Trump, dont feel he reflects American Values or shared values with the United Kingdom, and dont think he should be extended the honor of a state visit. This is a common view amid with many, many people in the uk. So in a sense, sadiq khan, the london mayor, was really speaking to that. Having said that, it is, of course, a highly, highly unusual step for a mayor of london to speak out in a public forum just 24 hours before the president of the United States of america arrives in the uk. Comparing him to the worst fascists of the 20th century. Obviously, were in something of uncharted territory here, and you know, this is something that people are just becoming used to at this stage. You mention also all these barbs and tweets and slights that the president engaged in before coming here. The reaction here in the uk, honestly, kate, to much of this, has been water off a ducks back. There is outrage fatigue here. People can no longer twist themselves into pretzels convulsing over every single slight and barb and tweet, because they have become so commonplace that people are almost used to it. It will be very interesting to see just how large the protests are tomorrow that are scheduled. You remember a year ago, there were huge, huge protests. I wonder if there will be quite the same turnout tomorrow as people seem to just shrug their shoulders at this stage and say well, thats the president. Abstlutly. Interesting to see. Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. Coming up for us right now, coming up for us shortly, the gloves are officially off, as the democratic president ial candidates no longer are holding back when it comes to the democratic frontrunner, joe biden. So why now . And is this new tactic, if you will, working . Plus, the president s soninlaw Jared Kushner sits down for a rare interview and we may now know why those interviews are so rare.
