“We exchange letters.” In her memoirs, Melania Trump reveals her correspondence with King Charles III.

After taking a position in favor of abortion in her memoirs published on October 8, 2024, Melania Trump made new revelations that were, to put it mildly, unexpected. According to the former first lady, she still maintains an “ongoing” epistolary friendship with King Charles III “to this day”.

Donald Trump’s wife particularly remembers her last official visit to the United Kingdom as First Lady in June 2019. “Donald and I hosted an intimate dinner in honor of Prince Charles and the Duchess at the residence of the United States Ambassador, which perfectly demonstrates. lasting ties that unite our two countries”, we can read in the statement that was published Vanity Fair . “Despite the tumultuous political context in the United Kingdom, around Brexit and the changes taking place in the Prime Minister’s staff, the Queen and her family extended a warm welcome and treated us with the utmost hospitality.”

A friendship that seems to continue today, even as Prince Charles became king and succeeded his mother, the late Elizabeth II. “Our friendship with the royal family continues and we exchange letters with King Charles to this day,” writes the 54-year-old former model.

Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II

In all her writings, Melania Trump also remembered her meeting with Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, at the age of 96, before her death. While the presidential couple made her wait more than 10 minutes for tea in 2018, the sovereign didn’t seem to hold it against them.

“As we bid farewell to His Majesty, we extended a warm invitation to him for a return visit to the United States (…). He expressed his gratitude with a warm smile. Unfortunately, Her Majesty was unable to visit us again before her death in 2022.”
