During the recent state visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the U.S., an unexpected revelation about their family ties with Donald Trump has stirred up conversation. Trump playfully hinted at his connection to the monarchy and expressed a whimsical desire to live at Buckingham Palace.

Unexpected Royal Connection

British tabloids have unearthed an intriguing link between Trump and the royal family, suggesting they are approximately 15th cousins. This surprising connection traces back to John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Lennox, and his daughter, Lady Helen Stewart. The shared lineage eventually leads to the MacLeod family, a name that holds significance for Trump as it was his mother Mary Anne MacLeod's maiden name, who emigrated from Lewis, Scotland.
