The two exchanged greetings at the event and later held a private meeting lasting approximately 40 minutes at the British ambassador's residence in Paris. Prince William, who greeted Trump at the door sporting a beard grown during his summer vacation, welcomed him warmly, saying, “Great to see you.”  

 

As they posed for photographs in the residence’s foyer, Trump expressed his admiration for the Prince of Wales, stating, “Great man this one. He’s going to do a fantastic job.” Their meeting was characterized as “warm and friendly” by Kensington Palace, with discussions spanning a range of global issues. Both leaders emphasized the enduring importance of the UK-US special relationship.  

 

During the meeting, Trump also shared personal memories of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which Prince William received with gratitude. Kensington Palace acknowledged Trump’s reflections, noting the Prince’s appreciation for the sentiments expressed.  

 

This meeting marked a continuation of Trump’s engagement with the British royal family, following his 2019 state visit to the United Kingdom. At that time, he met with the late Queen Elizabeth II, an encounter he described with great fondness.  

 

The symbolic occasion of Notre Dame’s reopening provided a backdrop for the reaffirmation of the historic bond between the United States and the United Kingdom, underscoring the shared respect and camaraderie between their leaders.

Trump assuming the presidential role well before the handover formalities. Love him or loathe him, he appears to be at ease with, and welcomed by, his fellow heads of state.
