A new biography of Queen Elizabeth II, written by the veteran journalist Craig Brown, has revealed candid and striking remarks the late monarch allegedly made about former U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania. Known for her discretion and astute judgment, Queen Elizabeth reportedly described Trump as "very rude" and speculated that he and Melania must have had "some sort of arrangement," questioning why she would have remained married to him otherwise.

 

These claims are made in Brown's book, *A Voyage Around The Queen*, which is being serialized in the Daily Mail. The biography offers an intriguing blend of well-known anecdotes and fresh insights into the queen's life, drawing on Brown's connections within elite circles. The journalist, who has a background in Parliamentary sketch writing and contributions to the satirical magazine Private Eye, has long been regarded as an insider in British high society. His previous works, including a kaleidoscopic biography of Princess Margaret, have been praised for their originality and depth.

 

In the new book, Brown recounts that a few weeks after Trump's visit to the United Kingdom in 2018, Queen Elizabeth confided in a lunch guest that she found the then-president "very rude." The queen reportedly took particular issue with Trump's habit of looking over her shoulder, as if he were searching for someone more interesting to engage with. This behavior, according to Brown, especially irked the queen.

 

Furthermore, the queen is said to have speculated about the nature of Trump’s marriage to Melania, suggesting to her guest that the couple must have had some kind of arrangement. "Why would she have remained married to him?" the queen reportedly mused, expressing her bewilderment at the dynamics of their relationship.

 

These revelations are particularly striking given the queen’s reputation for being a consummate diplomat who rarely voiced her personal opinions, especially in public or to those outside her immediate circle. Her comments, as recounted by Brown, offer a rare glimpse into her private thoughts about one of the most controversial figures she hosted during her long reign.

 

Trump, for his part, has often spoken highly of Queen Elizabeth, describing their meetings in glowing terms. Following his state visit in 2019, Trump told Fox News that they had shared a jovial time together, saying, "We were laughing and having fun. And her people said she hasn’t had so much fun in 25 years." He later faced criticism for these remarks, with some suggesting that the lighthearted nature of the visit was inappropriate.

 

Despite Trump’s public admiration for the queen, Buckingham Palace has not commented on the claims made in Brown’s book. The revelations add to the complex portrait of Queen Elizabeth as a leader who, while often seen as reserved, could also be a sharp judge of character, unafraid to express her true feelings in private.

 

Brown’s biography, like his earlier work on Princess Margaret, combines a mix of well-known stories with original reporting, offering readers new insights into the lives of the British royal family. His portrayal of Queen Elizabeth, especially in her interactions with figures like Trump, provides a fresh perspective on the late monarch, highlighting her discerning nature and her ability to navigate the complexities of her role with both grace and subtlety.

 

As the serialization of *A Voyage Around The Queen* continues, it is likely that more revelations will emerge, further illuminating the private thoughts and feelings of a monarch who was often viewed as inscrutable. For now, these accounts of her encounters with Donald Trump offer a fascinating glimpse into the inner world of Queen Elizabeth II, a figure who, even in her passing, continues to captivate the public imagination.

Her "unspoken thoughts". Really?

So basically another totally made up non story. Quite poor taste too

She was not the only one who disrespected Trump. He was universally despised and few foreign leaders had any regard for him, for a multitude of reasons, other than Putin, Kim and MBS, as he supported their dictatorships. And they likely disrespected him too, but appreciated his support. 

 

Just another reason why Trump is a very dangerous man, and should not be re-elected. Among the top ten reasons.

Trump haters always know what other people "really" think 😃.

If HM's thoughts were unspoken how were they ever known ? Did she write them down, or was a mind-reader involved ?

"a few weeks after Trump's visit to the United Kingdom in 2018, Queen Elizabeth confided in a lunch guest that she found the then-president "very rude.""

"written by the veteran journalist Craig Brown," How appropriate, Trump made it onto Craigs List. And we all know what that was famous for.

      Incorrect headline.  They were her spoken thoughts to friends.  The headline writer might have used 'private thoughts'.   After some 70 years on the throne, and having met thousands of people, I suspect the Queen was a good judge of character, or lack of it.   She definitely had an accurate take on Donald from the get-go.  Pity she was forced to spend time with him.  But, for crown and country . . .
