Back in 2018 and 2019, former US President (and President-elect) Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, met the late Queen Elizabeth II. While Donald spoke highly of Elizabeth, insiders are dishing all the details on how she allegedly felt about him, and what she thought about his and Melania’s marriage.
So, a lot has come out about Donald and Elizabeth’s meeting, including how he allegedly made a crack about her late sister, Princess Margaret, how his mannerisms annoyed her, and even how she questioned why Melania was with Donald.
According to Craig Brown’s book, A Voyage Around The Queen, he claimed that Elizabeth accidentally believed one major conspiracy theory about Donald and Melania: that their relationship is all transactional.
“She also believed President Trump ‘must have some sort of arrangement’ with his wife Melania [Trump], or else why would she have remained married to him?” Brown wrote in his book.
A big conspiracy theory about the couple, which former pals and former aides have alleged, is that their relationship is “transactional,” and apparently, according to this book, Elizabeth believed that too, on some level. (However, keep in mind that neither Donald nor Melania has confirmed or denied this rumor, and that this is what Elizabeth allegedly thought about their dynamic.)
Along with that, insiders and sources alike alleged to DailyMail that Donald made a joke about Margaret that upset Elizabeth, saying, “Trump put his foot in it by saying Margaret must have been a difficult sister. The Queen was very annoyed with this remark, which she viewed as ignorant and hurtful. She always defended Margaret to the hilt.”
And apparently, Elizabeth “particularly disliked” the way Donald peered over her shoulder as if “in search of others more interesting.”
