Queen’s ‘resilience’ is ‘hugely admirable’ says expert
Buckingham Palace has made a formal request to have a doctored image of the Queen removed from the “Trump Train”, according to Buzzfeed News. The Trump Train is an unofficial campaign tour bus that supported the re-election of the 45th US President during the 2020 US presidential election campaign.
One side of the bus shows a large image of the Queen in a red outfit.
The original photograph of the Queen was taken by Christopher Furlong on April 1, 2011, during a visit to Wales.
It shows the smiling monarch wearing a diamond brooch on her lapel and floral decoration on her hat.
However, the version of the picture used on the bus, placed next to a logo reading “Women for Trump”, shows Her Majesty wearing a hat with the famous Trump slogan “Make America Great Again” and a badge on her coat bearing the symbol of QAnon.
A palace spokesperson told BuzzFeed News they were aware of the fact the Queen’s image was being used.
