Often revered as an astute judge of character,Ā Queen Elizabeth II told friends that she foundĀ Donald Trump ā€œvery rude,ā€ and mused that he must have ā€œsome sort of arrangementā€ with his wife,Ā Melania.

The stunning claims are made in a new biography of the late queen which is being serialized in theĀ Daily Mail. It also says that the late monarch ā€œparticularly dislikedā€ Trumpā€™s habit of looking over her shoulder, as if ā€œin search of others more interesting.ā€

Elizabeth hosted Trump twice during her reign, in 2018 and 2019.
