Why did the Windsors want to meet the Trumps?

There鈥檚 more to the Trump visit than meets the eye.

Most of the President鈥檚 family flew in for a guided tour of London鈥檚 hotspots with the royals on the first day of their state visit to the UK. Protesters waved their banners and everyone waited for Trump to start tweeting. The President and First Lady Melania Trump went to Buckingham Palace for a private lunch and welcome ceremony. But could the Queen鈥檚 role be more than just ceremonial? Former presidential aide Mary Jo Jackobi and our royal correspondent Jonny Dymond tell us how she, and her horse riding skills, helped change one president鈥檚 mind before. Could she do it again?
