During a speech at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder\u2019s Dinner at George Washington\u2019s Mount Vernon estate, President Donald Trump shared a story about a nickname he once suggested for King Charles, according to Mirror report.<\/p>\n

\"Donald Donald Trump joked about calling King Charles \u201cCharles the Conqueror\u201d at a Mount Vernon dinner and announced Ben Carson will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.(AFP) <\/p>\n

Trump told the crowd he had been speaking about William the Conqueror, saying, \u201cThe name of the King at the time was William the Conqueror. I said, That\u2019s the coolest name I\u2019ve ever heard. William the Conqueror. And he built this massive castle, and he was known for winning wars. It\u2019s very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump then recalled his conversation with King Charles<\/a>. \u201cI asked King Charles, Why don\u2019t we call you Charles the Conqueror? He said no. I don\u2019t think so. But he\u2019s a great guy, and he\u2019s doing a great job, an unbelievable job.\u201d<\/p>\n

William the Conqueror ruled England in the 11th century.<\/p>\n

The anecdote comes after Trump\u2019s second state visit to the United Kingdom, where he met with members of the Royal Family and Prime Minister Keir Starmer<\/a>. He called the ceremonies with King Charles III \u201cone of the highest honors of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump was welcomed with a large guard of honor, carriage rides, an air show, and a state dinner at Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

According to the BBC, Trump plans to invite King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla to the United States next year. No date has been set.<\/p>\n

At the Virginia event, Trump also announced he will award Ben Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. \u201cCongratulations, Ben. He didn\u2019t know this,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t know it. I hope he\u2019s happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carson, 74, a retired neurosurgeon, ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican primary before serving as Housing and Urban Development secretary during Trump\u2019s first term. He later became Trump\u2019s national faith chairman during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n

Carson has long been known as a social conservative who opposes abortion rights and same sex marriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During a speech at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder\u2019s Dinner at George Washington\u2019s Mount Vernon estate, President Donald…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,32,1760,150333,7710,519,96168],"class_list":{"0":"post-445599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-donald-trump","12":"tag-king-charles","13":"tag-presidential-medal-of-freedom","14":"tag-royal-families","15":"tag-royal-family","16":"tag-william-the-conqueror"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115253210347496555","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
