He arrived 2days ago, with 7 planes about 400 people (apparently), 3 hours of luggage loading and red carpet treatment for the king!
If only you could see pictures of him surrounded left right centre by his men and skinny british guards trying to fit in.. There was one that cracked me up, where he was standing next to Prince Charles, Abdullah ofcourse the 'healthy' guy he is, big body, in his Khamis and Charles in his Grey suit skinny and winkley as ever!... I mean damn, Abdullah looks younger and it's clear whose the rich one.
He even climbed in a gold carriage and took a ride down London's Mall to Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth today.
