Donald Trump praised Prince William for his appearance and character following their meeting in Paris over the weekend. The US President-elect attended the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, where he met the Prince. Trump stated that the Prince of Wales is a “good looking guy” and praised his demeanor during their conversation.
The meeting occurred after the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, which had been under restoration since the devastating fire five years ago. Speaking to the New York Post, Trump shared details about the encounter, emphasizing his admiration for the Prince. “He looked really, very handsome last night. Some people look better in person. He looked great. He looked nice, and I told him that,” he stated.
Trump further explained that he had a fantastic conversation with the Prince about family and health matters. He revealed that the Prince spoke warmly about his wife and father, noting their resilience and strength.
The discussion included mentioning King Charles’s ongoing efforts to remain active despite receiving cancer treatment. The two meetings lasted over 30 minutes, and both parties reportedly enjoyed a positive exchange. Trump appreciated the princes’ diplomatic skills and said the conversation helped strengthen US-UK relations.
The gathering in Paris also included French President Emanuel Macron, whom Trump commended for his role in restoring Notre Dame Cathedral. He described the restorations as “painstaking” and praised Macron’s leadership.
Prince William’s diplomatic trip signals efforts to reinforce ties between the incoming US administration and the UK. Trump, a vocal admirer of the British monarchy, previously described his interactions with the late Queen Elizabeth II as deeply meaningful.
