During the high-profile state visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the United States, an intriguing piece of family history has emerged. According to British tabloids, Donald Trump and King Charles share a fascinating connection as distant cousins, leading to some playful banter from Trump about potentially moving into Buckingham Palace.
The reports indicate that Trump and Charles are approximately 15th cousins, linked through historical figures like John Stewart, the 3rd Earl of Lennox, and his daughter Lady Helen Stewart. This ancestral tie traces back to the MacLeod family name, famously associated with Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who hailed from Lewis in Scotland.
