Trump, Charles: 15th Cousins, Royal Visit Amid Tensions

0:00On April 28, Daily Mail dropped a bombshell this week, revealing that Donald Trump and King Charles III are 15th cousins sharing blood. Through the third Earl of Linux, a great grandson of King James II of Scotland, Trump could not hide his grin over the news. This family tie comes right as Charles and Queen Camilla kick off a four-day-stay visit to the US, with Trump hosting them at the White House, too. Celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. Trump has always shown love for the royals, saying his mom was a huge fan of Queen Elizabeth II, and now this cousin connection, amps up the vibe. Tensions linger, though, between the US and UK, as Trump fumes at Prime Minister Keir Starmer for holding back military aid in the Iran conflict. Tomorrow, the King makes history addressing Congress, the first British monarch to do so in 35 years, blending royal pomp with real world. Diplomacy on this share family note.
