Former President Donald Trump has never been one to keep his opinions to himself, and his recent comments about Prince William were no exception. After their brief meeting in Paris, Trump didn’t hesitate to share his thoughts on the Prince of Wales, leaving a lasting impression.
The two met after the historic reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral, which had been devastated by a massive fire in 2019 and has since been restored. The occasion was an important diplomatic event, where Trump was involved in discussions regarding the US-UK relations.
Reflecting on his conversation with the Prince, Trump shared his admiration, saying, “Prince William looked exceptionally handsome. Some people look even better in person, and he certainly did. I told him that directly.” He also mentioned discussing the well-being of William’s father, King Charles III, who had been battling cancer at the time. “He’s fighting hard, and it was evident how much William cares for both his father and wife,” Trump added, calling their chat heartfelt.
Trump went on to describe their meeting as a positive exchange, lasting for more than 30 minutes, where they spoke not only about family matters but also about the ongoing health challenges facing the King.
This is not the first time Trump has spoken about royal family members. In the past, he has mentioned that Queen Elizabeth II was particularly fond of him during his presidency, claiming, “I was her favorite president, many people have said that.”
More recently, Trump also expressed his well wishes for King Charles in a conversation with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. A spokesperson for Downing Street confirmed that Trump extended his thoughts on the King’s health.
Trump also commented on Prince Harry‘s life in the US earlier this year, when a think tank suggested that Harry’s US visa should be reviewed. Trump, however, dismissed any suggestion of deportation, remarking, “I’ll leave him be. He has his own issues, especially with his wife.”
