The US President has been raised to adore our Royal Family<\/a>, so King Charles<\/a> brutally putting Donald Trump<\/a> in his place will prick his fragile ego more than being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize<\/a>. As a little six-year-old in 1953, sitting with his Scottish mum, Mary, in their New York home, young Donald watched with awe on TV as Queen Elizabeth II was crowned, with the pair supposedly never leaving their seats all day.<\/p>\n The two-time US President still has a hankering for his ancestry, snapping up golf courses in Scotland<\/a> and revealing how his mother was “enthralled by the pomp and circumstance, the whole idea of royalty and glamour.” On his most recent UK state visit banquet, Trump sat beside Catherine, Princess of Wales<\/a>, and left so captivated he later hailed her as “radiant” in his speech – he reportedly loves William<\/a> and King Charles too, but is no fan of Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We do share some common ground, then!<\/p>\n Anyway, you can imagine how upset and angry the capricious Trump will be to discover Charles has put him in his place right and proper – something Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> never seems able to do.<\/p>\n Trump, 79, told The Telegraph he believed our monarch would “have taken a very different stand” on the Iranian conflict than the UK Government.<\/p>\n Ahead of the King’s expected State Visit to the US later this month, Trump said of him: “I like him. I always liked him as a prince. He\u2019s a good man, a great representative for your country.<\/p>\n “I think he would have taken a very different stand [on the war in Iran], but he doesn\u2019t do that. I mean, he\u2019s a great gentleman.”<\/p>\n The royal superfan added that Charles is “a friend of mine” and said the King had “nothing to do with” the tensions between the US and the UK over the Iran war.<\/p>\n He went on: “I have a great relationship with King Charles. I\u2019ve known him a long time. “He\u2019s a wonderful and brave man, to be honest with you. He\u2019s been through a lot, in many ways.”<\/p>\n
