During the recent official visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the United States, an unexpected revelation about their familial ties has created quite a buzz. Donald Trump has made headlines by suggesting he might inquire about staying at Buckingham Palace, following reports of their distant relationship.
The buzz began when British tabloids uncovered a shared ancestral link between Trump and King Charles, identifying them as distant cousins. They trace their connection back to the 15th century through John Stewart, the 3rd Earl of Lennox, and his daughter Lady Helen Stewart. This lineage ultimately ties back to the MacLeod name, which is notable as it is the maiden name of Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who hailed from Lewis, Scotland.
