Princess Kate’s just been given her toughest job yet but UK needs her | Royal | News
Crown Queen Elizabeth II While hanging on Elizabeth’s head June 2, 1953, a Scots mother and his six-year-old son watched the coronation with fascination and admiration. They never left their seats all day while enjoying the magnificence and ostentation of their New York City home. Her name was Mary Anne MacLeod Trump and her son was donald.
This boy grew up to be a whimsical ‘entertainer’, twice US President and the ultimate Marmite politician; Half the world loves him, the rest hates him. But his love of Scotland (hence all the golf courses he owns there) and, more importantly, Royal Family It’s still flowing through your veins and has already been tapped by the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Trump once said that he developed his “sense of pageantry” from his mother’s love of the royal family, because she was “fascinated with the pomp and circumstance, the whole idea of royalty and ostentation.”
It was no coincidence that Sir Keir visited the Oval Office last February to discuss Ukraine and trade and received an invitation for King Charles’ second state visit to the UK.
He buttered Trump up like a toasted bun, and last September the Royal Family served it on a silver platter at St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle – and guess who sat next to him during this lavish banquet?
Catherine, Princess of Wales wowed President Trump so much during his second state visit that he couldn’t stop smiling at her, greeting her “sparkling” in his speech later. He admired her.
With an act of expert soft diplomacy that also stunned and “giddy” his normally expressionless wife Melania in her presence, Catherine, more than any other royal, “dazzled” Trump and melted his First Lady.
She was seen chatting as he hung on her every word, soaking up her sparkle as if sitting on a Berkshire lounge chair, clinking glasses with her and flashing her dazzling smiles during the banquet.
He reduced the leader of the free world to “an admiring man” and later made him spend time apart with Melania.
It was Hannibal’s best pincer movement since the Battle of Cannae. This brought Ancient Rome to its knees; His made Donald’s knees tremble.
Now Catherine is lining up as our ‘not-so-secret’ weapon to thaw Trump again on his first foreign trip since 2022, almost 12 months after he announced he was cancer-free.
The Princess of Wales’s last major overseas trip with Prince William was a 2022 Caribbean tour for the Platinum Jubilee, followed by a trip to Boston for Earthshot.
On July 4 this year, Trump will mark the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, and Prince William already has a trip planned for the ‘States.
While there, William will also find time to support England at the summer FIFA World Cup as he is patron of the Football Association.
Separately, King Charles will fly to the US in April and the Government hopes both trips will strengthen relations with the President and revive the key trade deal he has ‘paused’.
A key associate of Trump’s early days said of him: “Being seen as successful and part of history has always been a big deal for him. He gets by on that.”
But make no mistake, Catherine is our best trump card to say ‘set up’ to Trump. He can make him feel like a Roman Emperor, and only he can do that.
