Donald Trump could barely contain his excitement after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed he shares royal blood with King Charles III.
The Daily Mail revealed on Monday that the President is related to the King via their shared ancestor in the 3rd Earl of Lennox, a great-grandson of King James II of Scotland.
The Daily Mail’s research found the connection makes Trump and Charles 15th cousins.
Trump reacted to the news on Truth Social: ‘Wow, that’s nice. I’ve always wanted to live in Buckingham Palace!!! I’ll talk to the King and Queen about this in a few minutes!!’
Charles and Queen Camilla are on a four-day state visit to the US, where Trump is hosting the royal couple at the White House to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.
The King will address lawmakers on the floor of Congress on Tuesday afternoon, the first British monarch to do so in 35 years.
The royal visit comes as US-British relations remain at a historic low due to Trump’s frustration with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to provide military support in the Iran war.
The President has long been an open admirer of the Royal Family. Trump has previously spoken of his mother being ‘a big fan’ of Queen Elizabeth II.
