The petition, which was launched Sunday, said that Trump should be allowed to enter the U.K. “in his capacity as head of the U.S. government,” but suggested that the official state visit should be canceled “because it would cause embarrassment” to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
“Donald Trump’s well-documented misogyny and vulgarity disqualifies him from being received by Her Majesty the Queen or the Prince of Wales,” it added, referring to the Queen and her son, Prince Charles, who is second in line to the throne. “Therefore, during the term of his presidency, Donald Trump should not be invited to the United Kingdom for an official state visit.”
The British Parliament must consider debating any petition that reaches more than 100,000 signatures.
