Late Queen Elizabeth II privately mimicked Melania Trump as 'silent and remote' and viewed Donald Trump as 'very rude,' according to a new book examining her relationship with US presidents. The claims appear in The Queen and Her Presidents by American author Susan Page, who portrays the late monarch as sharply observant in private while remaining famously restrained in public.
Page, drawing on interviews and earlier reporting, says the Queen could be a gifted mimic behind closed doors. Her account suggests that, while Elizabeth II kept her political views to herself in public, she was far more expressive with trusted confidants.
