Queen Elizabeth of United Kingdom may not have publicly shared her views on former United States President Donald · Trump, but she is believed to have expressed her thoughts very clearly to a royal writer, the Mirror reported on October 11.
According to a royal writer, Queen Elizabeth's opinion of Donald · Trump's marriage to Melania · Trump is "surprising."
The Queen of United Kingdom is not usually involved in politics, but the report said she shared her thoughts on the former United States president with royal writer Craig · Brown. Brown claims in his new book, A Journey Around the Queen, that Elizabeth suspects that Donald and Melania's marriage was "some kind of arrangement."
Brown said the incident came weeks after Trump's state visit to United Kingdom, and the queen made her opinion of Trump clear in a private conversation--- and the queen couldn't understand why Melania was "still married to him."
According to Brown's book, the queen doesn't seem to like Donald · Trump too much. Among them, she was unhappy with Trump's habit of "looking back", as if he was looking for "more interesting" company at the time.
"Over the course of her reign, Her Majesty hosted many controversial foreign leaders, including Bashar · Assad, Robert · Mugabe, Idi · Amin, Donald · Trump, Emperor Hirohito, and Vladimir · Putin," Brown wrote. ”
But the queen seems to have only singled out his "criticism" of Trump, calling him "very rude." This is not a whim of royal writers, Trump has had some behavior that does not conform to the etiquette of the United Kingdom royal family in his meeting with the queen. For example, when the queen stood up and raised a glass, he patted the queen on the right shoulder with his left hand. In United Kingdom, touching the queen is considered extremely rude in formal settings, but at the time, the queen may have been polite and did not respond to Trump's actions.
Also, when the Queen of United Kingdom took him to visit the exhibition hall at Buckingham Palace and showed him the statue of the silver horse he had previously given to the Queen, Trump replied "I don't recognize it", an act that also caused embarrassment and questioning.
Trump's attitude towards the queen, though, is different. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II of United Kingdom, Trump also issued a statement on social media expressing his condolences. He said that he and his wife Melania would "always cherish their time with the Queen", and also praised the Queen as "a great and beautiful lady" with "generous friendship, great wisdom and an extraordinary sense of humor".
To this day, many people question that the marriage between Trump and Melania is a "political show". Some people believe that Melania was once a supermodel with outstanding looks and temperament. For someone like Trump who pays more attention to his appearance, Melania's beauty can satisfy Trump's vanity and bring it out with a lot of face.
There are also people who believe that Melania, as a model, has certain connections and resources in the social circle. For a businessman and politician like Trump, these social resources may have some value and can help him in his career and social activities.
So what do you think of Trump's marriage to Melania?
