Ongoing Friendship with King Charles
In her newly released memoir, Melania, former First Lady Melania Trump shares insights about her correspondence with King Charles III, mentioning that she and her husband, former President Donald Trump, exchange letters with the monarch nearly every week.

Warm Welcome from the Royal Family
Melania recounts how Queen Elizabeth II and her family provided a “warm welcome” during Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom in June 2019. In a snippet shared by Vanity Fair, she reflects on their interactions: “As we bid farewell to Her Majesty, we extended a cordial invitation for her return visit to the United States.” Unfortunately, Queen Elizabeth passed away in 2022 before she could make the visit.

Letter of Support
The memoir notes that King Charles sent a letter of support to Donald Trump following an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania earlier this year. Melania, now 54, emphasizes the ongoing friendship with the Royal Family despite the controversies surrounding their state visit.

Recollections of Past Encounters
Melania recalls first meeting Charles in 2005 and reconnecting with him during the state banquet of the Trumps’ state visit. She highlights their conversation about environmental conservation and describes the event as an “absolute pleasure.”

Criticism of Donald Trump’s Behavior
Speculation around Queen Elizabeth’s private opinions of Donald Trump has surfaced in recent discussions. Craig Brown’s book, Q: A Voyage Around the Queen, suggests that she found Trump “very rude” during their encounters. Trump, however, has refuted these claims, asserting that he was the Queen’s “favorite president.”
