Donald Trump felt paternal as he spoke to Prince William at the British ambassador’s residence in Paris after the reopening of Notre Dame. ‘I had a good conversation with the prince’ Trump told The New York Post. ‘He looked very handsome last night. Some people look better in person? He looked great. He looked very nice, and I told him so.”


This has raised hopes for a new era of British soft power and diplomacy, with William gaining goodwill at the same time. when Keir Starmer’s government is at odds with the newly elected US president. There’s something in this. In his own eyes, Trump could have been William’s stepfather. He apparently had high hopes for marriage to Lady Diana after her divorce from former Prince Charles in the 1990s.


Selina Scott, the former ITV news presenter, recalled Trump wanted Diana to be his “trophy wife.” and showered her with flowers. “As the roses and orchids piled up in her apartment… it started to feel like Trump was stalking her.” (Trump said: “I read that story that I called her or something and it was so false.”)


Imagine the late Diana as the First Lady. It’s not that big of a stretch. Trump now sees himself as a quasi-royal with a palace at Mar-a-Lago that resembles the court of the Sun King Louis XIV.


Powers from the world of politics, finance and media have been camping there for weeks to be near the royal figure, while lesser mortals who climbed the pass can afford $1 million (£790,000) membership fees have a golden ticket to gawk, dine and dance in Trump’s company.


Queen Victoria was known as the ‘Grandmother of Europe’ because of the number of her descendants who became crowned heads. Napoleon installed his brother Joseph as king of Naples and then of Spain. Trump hasn’t gone that far yet, but he is sending his family members into positions of grace and favor around the world with the same expectation that family ties are binding.


Ivanka Trump’s father-in-law, Charles Kushner, has just been appointed ambassador to France. He’s a New Jersey tycoon who went to prison after hiring a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law and sending the tape to his own sister, so maybe family loyalty isn’t the be-all and end-all. Trump granted him a pardon in 2020. “When you’re a star, they let you do anything,” as Trump said on television Access to Hollywood band.


Lebanese businessman Massad Boulos, father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany, has just been appointed as a special adviser on the Middle East. He is “a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international stage,” Trump said.


Then there’s Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara, Eric’s wife and, until she resigned this week, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, who may be rewarded with a nice Senate seat in Florida now that Marco Rubio has been nominated as secretary of state.


And let’s not forget Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host who was named ambassador to Greece on Tuesday, just as her ex-fiance, Don Jr., publicly showed off his new lady love. King Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor, had to settle for exile as governor of the Bahamas when his romantic life became complicated.


As for Don Jr and younger brother Eric, they watched the movie with envy soon billionaire status of Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushnerthanks to the Saudi friends he made during Trump’s first presidency.


A week after the 2024 election, Don Jr. resigned. to the venture capital firm 1789 Capital, owned by a group of prominent Trump donors. This week, Eric, vice president of the Trump Organization, announced the construction of the Trump Tower in Jeddah.


Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi prince, knows how to deal with difficult relationships. He imprisoned dozens of his royal cousins ​​in the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh until they submitted to his rule. Absolute rulers want everyone to bend the knee to them.


This contains a warning for Prince Harry. He cannot count on favorable treatment from Trump just because he is the Queen’s grandson. Harry and Meghan are considered too ‘woke’ for Trump supporters. The right-wing think tank, the Heritage Foundation, has been waging a legal battle to reveal whether Harry was granted privileged immigration statussince he admitted to using drugs in his memoirs, Save.


Trump said last month he said he would take “appropriate action” if it emerged that Harry lied on his visa application. It will more likely turn out that he has diplomatic status, but his files will soon be made available to the new government.
