Former President Donald Trump had nothing but positive things to say about the late Duke of Edinburgh (via The Guardian). “This is an irreplaceable loss for Great Britain, and for all who hold dear our civilization,” Trump wrote. “Prince Philip defined British dignity and grace. He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude, and unbending integrity of the United Kingdom … We saw firsthand how the Monarchy epitomizes and carries on the virtues of the British People—and no one did so more than Prince Philip.”
Prince Philip famously did not meet Donald Trump when Trump traveled to the UK and met his wife, Queen Elizabeth. At the time, the duke was already in the process of retiring from royal duties (via Express). But while the two men never met face to face, according to Town and Country, Trump did gift Prince Philip a personalized Air Force One jacket, in recognition of the prince’s service during World War II.
