Donald Trump has had a complicated relationship with the British Royal Family. While he and Melania have met the royals multiple times, not all encounters have been positive. For example, Queen Elizabeth reportedly found Trump “very rude” during their meeting in 2018, especially disliking how he seemed uninterested in her. Trump, however, denied these claims, stating that he had a great relationship with the queen and even claimed she considered him her favorite president.
Melania also had a connection with the Royal Family, notably revealing in her memoir that she has been penpals with King Charles III since 2005. She also paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth after her death, stating that they had planned a return visit to the U.S. that never happened.
In addition, Queen Elizabeth was known for her humor and impersonations, and she reportedly enjoyed impersonating Melania Trump with a bored expression and muttering “I want to be alone.”
Meanwhile, Prince William has developed a strong relationship with Trump, seeing it as essential for strengthening the U.S.-UK bond. Experts believe his ability to engage with global leaders, including Trump, is important for his future role as king. Despite tensions with other family members, such as Prince Harry, William’s relationship with Trump is seen as crucial for Britain’s influence on the world stage.
