Trump jokes about marriage with Melania during King Charles III’s visit Speaking impromptu, US President Donald Trump told First Lady Melania this Tuesday (28) that their marriage will not be as long as her parents’. Trump was speaking at the White House, in Washington, during the welcoming ceremony for King Charles III of England and Queen Camilla, when he commented that his parents were married for 63 years. “That’s a record we’re not going to be able to match, honey. I’m sorry,” Trump said, turning toward Melania. “It just won’t work like that.” Trump and Melania met in 1999 and married in 2005. Their age difference is 24 years. The speech takes on an embarrassing tone because it was made in Charles’ presence. Like Trump, the British monarch also has a troubled marital history. The then Prince Charles married Diana Spencer, in a relationship from which his two children were born, and which was marked by betrayal — Camilla was the lover of the heir to the throne, even during their first marriage. King Charles III and Queen Camilla meet with Trump and Melania Reuters Mother had a ‘crush’ on Charles, says republican In his speech, Trump cited the deep historical and cultural connection between the US and the UK and mentioned his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born in Scotland and was an admirer of the royal family. “My mother had a crush on Charles,” Trump said. The Republican also praised the relationship between the USA and the United Kingdom and said that the USA “has no closer friends than the British”, adding that he is certain that ties between the two countries will continue for a long time in the future. “In the centuries since we gained our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British,” Trump declared. He also said that the two countries maintain a “special relationship”. The speech contrasts with Trump’s recent speeches about the United Kingdom, which were significantly more negative. The North American leader criticized the British government and threatened to review the US position on the Falkland Islands due to the United Kingdom’s non-participation in the Iran war, for example.
