Trump Denies Claims of Rudeness from Queen Elizabeth II Biography

Former President Donald Trump has vehemently rejected claims made in a new biography of Queen Elizabeth II, which suggests that she found him "very rude" during their interactions. The biography, titled "A Voyage Around The Queen" by Craig Brown, alleges that the Queen expressed her disapproval of Trump’s behavior, particularly noting his tendency to look over her shoulder during their meetings. Trump, however, insists that he was her "favorite president" and characterized the claims as "totally false." In an interview with the Daily Mail, Trump dismissed Brown as a "sleazebag" and asserted that he had a strong rapport with the late monarch. He claimed they spent significant time together during his state visit to the UK in 2018, a trip that was overshadowed by protests. Trump stated, "I had a great relationship with the Queen. She liked me and I liked her," and emphasized that he had heard from others that he was her favorite. The biography also speculates on the nature of Trump’s marriage to Melania, suggesting that the Queen questioned their relationship dynamics. Despite the controversial assertions made in the book, Buckingham Palace has refrained from commenting, adhering to its usual policy of not engaging with biographical works. The ongoing discourse highlights the complexities of Trump’s interactions with global leaders and the public's fascination with royal perceptions.
