During King Charles and Queen Camilla’s recent state visit to the United States, an unexpected connection has sparked interest: a family tree implies that former President Donald Trump may be a distant cousin of the British monarch. This lighthearted revelation inspired Trump to jokingly express an interest in living at Buckingham Palace.

Family Links Uncovered

Recent reports from British tabloids uncovered a surprising lineage that ties Trump to King Charles, identifying them as approximately 15th cousins. The connection traces back to John Stewart, the 3rd Earl of Lennox, and his daughter Lady Helen Stewart. Notably, this lineage is linked to the MacLeod family name—Trump's maternal ancestry, which originated from Lewis, Scotland, through his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod.
