Trump Reveals Regret Over Unreciprocated 1990s Pursuit of Princess Diana

During his second tenure as U.S. President, Donald Trump revealed in his 1997 book 'The Art of the Comeback' that he regretted never having the opportunity to court Princess Diana, whom he described as a 'genuine princess' and his 'dream lady.' Following Diana's 1996 divorce from Prince Charles, Trump reportedly pursued her with lavish bouquets and personal notes, actions that made her uncomfortable and led her to confide in BBC journalist Selina Scott that Trump 'gave her the creeps.' Scott advised Diana to discard the flowers, highlighting the unwelcome nature of Trump's advances, which some close to Diana characterized as bordering on stalking. Despite Diana's discomfort, Trump publicly referred to her as the 'ultimate trophy wife,' ranking her among the most beautiful women he admired. These revelations add complexity to Trump's history with women, underscoring a pattern of controversial behavior amidst his personal and public life. The accounts come from multiple sources including firsthand testimonies and Trump's own statements, portraying a one-sided admiration that failed to respect Diana's boundaries.
