What did Princess Diana think of him?
Trump wrote that his only 'regret' was not getting the chance to propose to Lady Diana.
Donald Trump's fascination with the British royal family began with his Scottish mother. Mary Ann MacLeod Trump, a native of Stockland, watched the coronation of Elizabeth II on black-and-white TV in 1953, which also influenced the six-year-old Donald Trump. From then on, the royal pomp, tradition and dignity became a kind of addiction for Trump.
However, the one who fascinated Trump the most in the British royal family was Princess Diana. In his second book, 'The Art of the Comeback,' Trump wrote that his only 'regret' was not getting the chance to propose to Lady Diana. He called Diana, 'a dreamy woman' who 'lighted up the house.'
