Donald Trump’s tweet about Prince Charles contains the most hilarious mistake
Oh no.
Oh no.
Donald Trump’s UK tour may be over, but it’s still making news.
The President of the United States flew over to Blighty with First Lady Melania, and four of his children, Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka and Tiffany earlier this month for his second official UK tour.
During his stay, he met with royals from the Queen and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall to the Fab Four minus Meghan Markle who was still on maternity leave, hosted by the Queen for their stay.
It was his meeting with Prince Charles however that has made the most news this week as Donald Trump tweeted about the royal, making a huge blunder in his post.
‘I meet and talk to “foreign governments” every day,’ tweeted Trump in response to articles claiming he would listen if a foreign government gave harmful information about one of his political rivals. ‘I just met with the Queen of England (U.K.), the Prince of Whales, the P.M. of Ireland, the President of France and the President of Poland. We talked about “Everything!” Should I immediately call the FBI about these calls and meetings? How ridiculous! I would never be trusted again. With that being said, my full answer is rarely played by the Fake News Media. They purposely leave out the part that matters.’
Unfortunately for Trump, people weren’t interested in the majority of the post, instead focusing on the unbelievable error.

Yes, Donald Trump misspelt the Prince of Wales’ title to rename him ‘Prince of Whales’.
Unsurprisingly there has been a surge of photos of whales wearing crowns spreading across the internet.
The royal family have not responded and also unsurprisingly, Donald Trump has now corrected the tweet.
