The President was toasting the Queen during a formal banquet at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, when he kept speaking during the UK national anthem. Normal British protocol states that you play "God Save the Queen", then the person making the toast is to speak.
After realizing his mistake, Obama set his glass down and may have had the most awkward look of confusion and embarrassment on his face during his presidency.
This was a another embarrassment for Obama on his 2011 European tour, following his limo getting stuck in Ireland and forgetting what year it was when he was signing the guestbook at Buckingham Palace.
