The historical Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris was reopened on 8 December 2024, after five years of renovations to get it back to its past glory. A lot of high-ranking politicians were invited to this event, and many of them showed up. Among them were Prince William, heir to the British throne, and US president-elect Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and the Prince of Wales met at the British Embassy
However, it was not only during the celebrations that there was lively conversation between world leaders, but also afterwards. The future American president and King Charles' eldest son met later at the British Embassy in Paris to hold initial talks on international relations.
After the meeting, Donald Trump told the New York Post that the two had had a great exchange and that they had also found the time to talk about family:
We had a great talk for half an hour, a little more than half an hour. We had a great, great talk.
I asked him about his wife and he said she’s doing well. And I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad.
Trump sings praises about Prince William
In the course of the conversation, the Republican also emphasized several times that Prince William was 'a good-looking man' and that he had also told him this during the exchange in Paris. He told the New York Post:
He’s a good looking guy. He looked really, very handsome last night.
Some people look better in person? He looked great. He looked really nice, and I told him that.
A lip-reader and a body language expert have now also evaluated the joint appearance of Donald Trump and Prince William. The latter, Judi James, found that Melania Trump's husband showed an almost 'fatherly' side. According to her, he refrained from his typical power poses and harsh words - and instead came across as 'friendly'.
And Jacqui Press, a renowned lip-reader, seemed to come to a similar conclusion. She claims that Donald Trump praised the father-of-three several times and called him 'a great man'.
