Earlier this week, Vice President JD Vance hinted at the United States securing a "great" trade deal with the U.K. due to President Donald Trump's strong relationship with the Royal Family. Trump has been a longtime fan of the monarchy and has met with the late Queen, The King, Prince William and other royals on numerous occasions over the years. Melania Trump has even claimed that she exchanges letters with King Charles. But when it comes to Vance and Trump's recent remarks, a former royal butler says the palace is unlikely to "mind."
When discussing a trade deal with the U.K., Vance said (via the Guardian), "We’re certainly working very hard with Keir Starmer’s government. The president really loves the United Kingdom. He loved The Queen. He admires and loves The King. It is a very important relationship."
