Donald Trump complained he had “had enough” in an exasperated moment during his State Visit to the UK earlier this month.
While in Windsor Castle, the US President is said to have outlined alternative plans to King Charles in light of his frustrations.
Mr Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, an American delegation of senior cabinet officials and top tech tycoons travelled to the UK for a two-day State Visit – an unprecedented second time such an honour has been extended to a US President.
The American First Couple were treated to all the pomp and splendour Windsor Castle could afford as they toured the grounds and enjoyed a lavish State Banquet on the evening of September 17.

In his speech at the feast, Mr Trump called the occasion “truly one of the highest honours of my life”.
However, the US leader is believed to have shared some frustration at the many historic sights and extensive parading he was shown on the day.
While speaking with tech chiefs who had accompanied him, the US President is understood to have said: “I've had a great time, I've seen so many beautiful things."
“I've seen a lot of beautiful things. Like, a lot. I was taken round Windsor Castle and seen some beautiful things. I’ve been taken round Chequers and seen some beautiful things,” he continued the exhaustive list.

“I have seen every memorial and they’re beautiful but now I’ve had enough,” he quipped.
Beyond complaining to the tycoons, Mr Trump is also said to shared the joke with King Charles.
He amusingly promised to invite the monarch to the US for his own State Visit - but without subjecting him to as many sightseeing opportunities, The Mirror reported.
“You know what? I'm going to treat you to a state dinner, you can come to the US and I'm not going to drag you round the Lincoln Memorial.

“You can just have dinner and then go to bed,” Mr Trump pledged to King Charles.
While Mr Trump may have joked about his exhaustion, by all accounts the State Visit was a huge success in charming the American delegation.
“It was a really fantastic trip. The British know how to do this perfectly,” a senior White House official is understood to have said.
In their praise, they also appeared to let slip an invitation for a State Visit to the US would be extended with the comment: “They set the bar high for their trip to see us.”

While in the UK, one of the “beautiful sights” that evidently did not wear on the visiting US President was Windsor Castle itself.
When an aide informed Mr Trump the Norman fortress had been built in the year 990, the leader remarked he was: “Trying to figure that one out. 990? So it's like, you know, it's like really old.”
“The name of the king at the time was William the Conqueror. I said, ‘That's the coolest name I've ever heard,’” he shared while speaking at the American Cornerstone Institute Dinner.
Such was Mr Trump’s amazement that he even suggested a new moniker for King Charles, which the monarch quickly shut down.
