While the British royal family might seem obsessed with propriety (they don’t follow protocol for nothing!
), the Trumps are all about throwing convention to the wind.
The Windsors, of course, are apolitical.
Meanwhile, the Trumps seem keen on becoming the United States' next big Republican dynasty.
In a historical sense, these differences are hardly surprising.
After all, the royals are, in many ways, the definition of old-school landed gentry.
They accumulated their fortune through centuries of military struggles and conquests.
The Trumps, on the flip side, are largely thought of as all-American new money.
Both are unusually large, difficult to run, and full of staff that keep things afloat.
And, interestingly, the way that the Trumps and Winsdors run Buckingham Palace and Mar-a-Lago are eerily similar.
Apparently, the kitchen at the club was in a complete state of dishevelment.
Fish intended to be served raw or rare had not undergone proper parasite destruction."
Compellingly, the Windsors have found it just as trying to maintain Buckingham Palace.
Of course, that does not mean that just anyone can work at Buckingham Palace or Mar-a-Lago.
At Mar-a-Lago, this means that staff must learn not only how to serve but also whoto serve.
They’re also taught about Mar-a-Lago’s VIP list: anyone with the last name Trump."
Donald Trump, meanwhile, must always be served shrimp of a respectable size.
Nearly six months later, it was still bothering him."
Apparently, he even confronted the chef, “You changed that shrimp, right?”
Across the pond at Buckingham Palace, the Windsors are rumored to have just as many dietary restrictions.
Indeed, the Trumps and the Windsors have both been known to expect high-quality meals for their dogs.
And, no, a simple bowl of kibble will not cut it for either family.
It would list each day what the dogs were to have.
Apparently, McGrady and his team were required to prepare the corgis' meat in an extra special way.
However, neither household is particularly well-known for paying its workers generously.
If anything, these establishments have a reputation for under-compensating their employees.
What’s worse, a small percentage of these vacancies offered salaries that fell below these recommendations.
As royal expert, Norman Baker, told Insider, “The queen pays in a very tight-fisted way.
Compellingly, it is said that Mar-a-Lago staffers are not paid much better than their Buckingham Palace counterparts.
This tendency to reward loyal staff members during the holidays is hardly unique to the Windsors.
Apparently, the Trump family also has a history of distributing cash bonuses to Mar-a-Lago employees at Christmastime.
Like the queen, Trump would grant more money to those who had worked for him the longest.
In fact, several of Trump’s andWindsor’s former employeeshave come forward to report workplace harassment.
As reported by theDaily Mail, Harry and Meghan denied these allegations.
According to Randall’s account, his complaints were brushed aside, and he was fired for retaliation.
The Trump Organization denied these claims.
Because of this, both establishments ask their guests to dress to the nines.
After all, our clothing choices can set the stage for how we are seen.
At Buckingham Palace, this means that both men and women must don more traditional clothing.
Men must wear a suit and tie when wandering the grounds.
Indeed, both Hillary and Bill Clinton celebrated the future president’s nuptials at the blow-out Palm Beach event.
Of course, many of these same names have appeared at Buckingham Palace over the years.
In 1995, the Clintons toured Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
Additionally, Elton John was also understood to have a reasonably friendly relationship with the Windsors.
According to the famous pianist and singer, Prince Philip even felt comfortable criticizing him at private events.
Apparently, Philip confronted him at a dinner party by saying, “What the hell are you thinking?
[That car] makes you look like a bloody fool.
Get rid of it” (viaExpress).
And, interestingly, this is a tradition that the Trumps have also put into place at Mar-a-Lago.
As one former employee told the book writers in a private interview, “He loves it.
He loves all the fuss made.”
At Buckingham Palace, of course, this tradition of posing on the balcony has even more significance.
These days, it is understood that not all royals will be invited to participate in this exclusive activity.
