Melania Trump reveals she is pen pals with King Charles

Former first lady has ‘ongoing correspondence’ with His Majesty, according to a review of her new memoir

Melania Trump has revealed she is pen pals with King Charles.
The former first lady has an “ongoing correspondence” with the King, according to a review of her new memoir in the New York Times.
It is unclear when the pair began exchanging letters, but Mrs Trump apparently met the then-Prince of Wales in New York in 2005.
They reunited in 2019 when Mrs Trump made a state visit to the UK with her husband Donald, then the US president.
The Daily Beast reports she described it as an “absolute pleasure to reconnect with him” in her book, which is published on Tuesday.
“This time we engaged in an interesting conversation about his deep-rooted commitment to environmental conservation,” Mrs Trump added.
Donald Trump also exchanges letters with the King, according to reports.
The King sent a private letter to the Republican presidential candidate after an attempt was made on his life while he held a rally in Pennsylvania in July.
Buckingham Palace has not revealed the contents of that message.
Accounts vary of the Royal family’s reception to the Trumps on their state visit, with a former aide claiming Queen Elizabeth II found the couple “gracious and wonderful.”
“I spoke to the Queen subsequently after the state visit, and other members of the royal household, and she told me she found them to be really gracious and wonderful guests to have in the palace,” the source told the New York Post.
However, in Craig Brown’s “A Voyage Around The Queen,” Elizabeth II is said to have found Donald Trump “very rude.”
“She particularly disliked the way he couldn’t stop looking over her shoulder, as though in search of others more interesting,” the book states.
Responding to the claims, Donald Trump said he had a “great relationship” with the late Queen, described her as a “fantastic woman,” and called Mr Brown a “sleazebag.”
Elsewhere in her memoir, Mrs Trump revealed she is pro-choice and believes it is “imperative” that women can choose whether to have an abortion.
Her comments draw a stark contrast with her husband who has taken credit for overturning Roe v. Wade, a Supreme Court ruling protecting abortion rights.
Mrs Trump describes her husband as “passionate” and “warm” in the book, saying she understands why people do not like his social media posts but insisting he needs to “fight back.”
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
