ALBAWABA – During a ceremonial welcome for U.S. President Donald Trump in London, something unexpected happened: a Royal Guard's horse pooped during the inspection parade with King Charles III. This made people laugh and go viral online.

The event happened while Trump and King Charles were looking over the guard of honor at a lavish ceremony. The horse's accident quickly took people's minds off the formalities, and people on social media shared the video widely and joked about the "symbolic" timing.

Some people thought the scene was an unintentional message, while others said it was just a way to make a strict and disciplined British protocol more funny.

There were also other widely shared pictures from the visit, like one of Trump smiling with Princess Kate Middleton at a royal banquet in Windsor Castle. The picture got people talking about politics and joking around on social media.
