Queen Elizabeth placed a call to President Trump ahead of the July 4th holiday, and folks on Twitter are already apologizing for what he might have said. Especially after Trump insulted several female European leaders in phone calls.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has been placing friendly calls to Commonwealth and allied leaders in recent months, and on June 30, it was revealed that she’d spoken to President Donald Trump, 74, earlier in the day. The announcement came via Twitter, and the comments soon flooded with responses from Americans saying that they were sorry for anything horrible Trump might have said. People assumed the worst when it came to his conversational skills with the still sharp 94-year-old monarch. Especially in light of the reports that he called former British Prime Minister Theresa May “weak” in a phone call with her, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel “stupid.”

Along with a photo of a smiling QEII meeting with Trump and wife Melania when they visited her in London in June 2019, the tweet via The Royal Family‘s account read, “Today, The Queen spoke to President Trump by telephone from Windsor Castle ahead of Independence Day in the United States on the 4th July.”

A follow up message added, “The telephone call is the latest in a series Her Majesty has held with world leaders in recent months, including President Macron, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Prime Minister Scott Morrison.” Those would be the leaders of France, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. So the Queen reserves her calls for Britain’s strongest allies and/or Commonwealth nations. However the announcement about talking to Trump was met with deep “I’m sorry” responses from Americans.

User @DellaStreet5969 write, “Our deepest and most sincere apologies. Hopefully this is the last time HM will ever have to speak with him,” referring to how he could be voted out of office in Nov. 2020 if Democrat Joe Biden wins the presidential election.
