The revelation of an unexpected family connection has sparked excitement during King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the United States. Donald Trump, who is reportedly linked to the royal family as a distant cousin, humorously mentioned that he might consider asking to stay at Buckingham Palace.
The intriguing discovery of their kinship stems from a detailed family tree published by British tabloids. It points to a 15th cousin relationship through their mutual ancestor, John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Lennox, and his daughter, Lady Helen Stewart. This ancestry includes the MacLeod lineage, notably linked to Trump’s mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who immigrated from Lewis, Scotland.
