King Charles and Donald Trump 'Are Related' as Bombshell Family Link Uncovered

New research says the two leaders are 15th cousins through the 3rd Earl of Lennox, with the line traced through Scottish nobility and clan families.

  • Genealogical research published by The Daily Mail reveals that President Donald Trump and King Charles III are 15th cousins, sharing descent from the 3rd Earl of Lennox, a Scottish nobleman.
  • The report traces their lineage through Mary Anne MacLeod of Lewis, who emigrated to the United States in 1930 and married property developer Fred Trump, becoming the mother of Donald Trump.
  • Biographer Robert Hardman identified the connection through historical records, tracing the 3rd Earl of Lennox, who met a violent end at the 1526 Battle of Linlithgow Bridge during a power struggle.
  • President Trump acknowledged the discovery on social media, jokingly expressing interest in Buckingham Palace, while welcoming the royal couple to the White House on Monday with First Lady Melania Trump.
  • Historical irony accompanies the findings, which also link the President to King George III, the British monarch whose rule the American colonies rejected in 1776, as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary this year.
