Melania Trump and King Charles III are NOT the friendly duo we were expecting to hear about today…
In the former First Lady’s new memoir Melania — which hit bookshelves on Tuesday — the eponymous author details a certain correspondence she’s maintained with the British monarch for YEARS! That’s right. According to her, she and King Charles III are pen pals!
In an excerpt obtained by Vanity Fair, the 54-year-old reflects on her and Donald Trump’s visit with the royal family in 2019, which of course happened three years prior to Queen Elizabeth II’s passing:
“Donald and I hosted an intimate dinner in honor of Prince Charles and the Duchess at the US ambassador’s residence — a perfect expression of the enduring ties between our nations.”
In the wake of all the controversy surrounding British politics at the time, including Brexit, the late Queen “extended a warm welcome”:
“Despite the tumultuous backdrop of British politics at the time surrounding Brexit and changes at the Prime Minister’s office, the Queen and her family extended a warm welcome to us, treating us with the utmost hospitality. As we bid farewell to Her Majesty, we extended a cordial invitation for her return visit to the United States. She expressed her gratitude with a warm smile.”
And it sounds like the late Queen’s son has kept up correspondence! Melania revealed in the book that they still exchange letters “to this day”:
“Sadly, Her Majesty wasn’t able to visit with us again before her death in 2022, but our friendship with the Royal Family continues, and we exchange letters with King Charles to this day.”
Uhhh, what?? We’d LOVE to see what those letters entail. Do they discuss politics? Foreign policy? Family??
We know King Charles III wrote Donald a letter over the summer after the attempt on the former President’s life, but this is something completely different!
What are YOUR reactions, Perezcious readers?? Let us know in the comments!
