Kate Middleton topless photo scandal left Charles & WIlliam furious with Trump: Book

According to a recent book, Donald Trump's comments regarding the 2012 topless photo scandal involving Kate Middleton caused Prince William and King Charles to utter "torrents of profanity." Following the publication of the then-Duchess of Cambridge's topless beach photos in Provence, France, in the French magazine Closer, the former president responded on Twitter. The 76-year-old business billionaire wrote, "Kate Middleton is fantastic, but she shouldn't be sunbathing in the nude — only herself to blame." "If Kate were to sunbathe in her underwear, who wouldn't want to capture her photo and cash in big time? Please, Kate!" The passages from Christopher Andersen's upcoming biography The King: The Life of Charles III that triggered the tweet that resulted in "torrents of profanity" from Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry were made public.

Additionally, the book claims that Charles was "disappointed" when Trump referred to him as the "Prince of Whales" Anderson also claimed that Trump's assertion that he "could have nailed" Princess Diana if he had wanted to "didn't help." Other revelations in his book include the Royal Family attempting to "discourage" Trump from visiting the UK as planned in 2017. Charles, William, and Harry "burned up the phone lines between Clarence House and Kensington Palace, with all three vowing to act behind the scenes to dissuade Trump's visit," the American journalist continued. On Fox and Friends at the time, Trump commented on the photographs without tops, saying, "Even though we're all fans of Kate, can you think of a good reason for her to ever be seen outside in the bare? Why would she be standing in a pool or somewhere else in her undies? It's Kate. However, how could they do something so stupid? It's bad what they did and it's terrible to take pictures."
