King Charles and Prince William exploded in anger after hearing Donald Trump’s comments about the Kate Middleton topless photo scandal in 2012, a new biography released this week revealed.
Kate, then Duchess of Cambridge, was photographed sunbathing topless earlier this year at a private estate in France while on holiday with husband Prince William.
The photos were later published in the French tabloid Closer. “Kate Middleton is amazing but she shouldn’t sunbathe naked it’s her own fault,” Trump tweeted at the time. “Who wouldn’t photograph Kate and make a lot of money sunbathing naked? Come on Kate!”
According to excerpts from Christopher Andersen’s forthcoming biography, The King: The Life of Charles III, provided to Newsweek, Trump’s taunting of Kate “resulted in what a Clarence House butler called the ‘river of obscenity’ from both Prince William and.” designated by his father”.
Years later in 2019, Charles, then Prince of Wales, was reportedly “disappointed” when Trump dubbed him the “Prince of Whales” in a tweet, written as the marine mammal as opposed to the land.
Andersen, the bestselling author of The Day Diana Died, writes that Trump’s earlier claim that he “may have gotten it right” [a princesa Diana] if I wanted to, ‘but only if she passed the HIV test’ certainly did nothing to improve Charles’ opinion of the former President of the United States.
