I think May will still be there.

I hope Larry the Cat sprays his leg.

The prince will soon find that speaking to a stone would be more rewarding.

She's the one who invited him for both visits, so she ought to meet with him.

4. She'll be PM until late July. Right after the Trump plague visits the UK, she'll resign as party ldr

and they'll take about 6 or 7 weeks to elect a new party leader, who will then automatically take over as PM (well, assuming the winner has the support of the DUP, who are still needed to form a majority in the Commons. If the Tories pick a hardliner, they'll get that support; the only one I can see the DUP objecting to, because he's said 'no deal' is unthinkable, is Rory Stewart - and no-one thinks he can win).

So she does have to do all the flummery with Trump. She deserves that - she's been far too chummy with him.

Subjecting the country to the indignation of his presence on their soil. She should have to answer for it. I still can't believe he his going, knowing how hated he is over there. I actually feel sorry for the Queen. She's much too old to have to put up with this bullshit at her age.

Not to mention trying to hobnob with a despicable Idiot with a combover in her desperate attempt at validation. She is no Maggie Thatcher.
