During the ongoing state visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the U.S., an unforeseen connection has sparked intrigue: a link between Donald Trump and the British royal family. Trump has humorously mentioned his interest in residing at Buckingham Palace, thanks to a newfound familial bond that’s causing quite the stir.

Uncovering the Royal Connection

Reports have surfaced from British tabloids indicating that Trump and the King share a lineage, with both being distantly related as 15th cousins. This connection traces back to John Stewart, the 3rd Earl of Lennox, and his daughter, Lady Helen Stewart. Interestingly, this ancestry leads back to the MacLeod name, which happens to be the maiden name of Trump’s mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who hailed from Scotland.
