While Donald Trump still has another month before he heads back to the White House, the president elect met with several world leaders while visiting Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral—and now he's sharing the details of his private conversation with a "very handsome" Prince William.
Trump told the New York Post that he had a "great" chat with the Prince of Wales, who attended the rededication service as a representative of the United Kingdom. Apparently, they even discussed Princess Kate and King Charles's health during their lengthy meeting.
"I asked him about his wife and he said she’s doing well," Trump said, adding, "I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad."
Both the Princess of Wales, 42, and King Charles, 76, were diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year, with Princess Kate announcing in September that she'd finished chemotherapy treatments.
"We had a great talk for half an hour, a little more than half an hour," Trump continued. "We had a great, great talk.”
Trump called Prince William "a great man."
On the topic of greatness, Trump even gushed over Prince William's looks, adding, "He’s a good-looking guy. He looked really, very handsome last night."
However, the praise came with a bit of a backhanded compliment. "Some people look better in person?" the president elect said before adding, "He looked great. He looked really nice, and I told him that.”
Perhaps it was the Prince of Wales's fan-favorite beard that did the trick?
Looks aside, the duo met at the residence of the British ambassador in Paris, with Trump saying, “Great man this one. He’s going to do a fantastic job.”
It's been a busy time for Prince William, who took part in the Qatari state visit at Buckingham Palace last week followed by Princess Kate's annual Christmas carol concert on Friday before flying to Paris. He also served Christmas dinner to the homeless at one of his favorite charities, The Passage, in London, doing—to use one of Trump's favorite terms—a "great" job at spreading Christmas cheer.
