Donald Trump's royal obsession: Diana said he 'gave her the creeps'
Donald Trump once described Princess Diana as his 'dream lady' and 'a genuine princess', even lamenting in his 1997 book that he never had the chance to court her. But while Trump saw her as the ultimate trophy wife, Diana reportedly felt alarmed by his advances - telling a friend he 'gave her the creeps' as bouquets of flowers flooded her Kensington Palace home. Once their divorce was finalised in 1990, Trump continued his relationship with Maples and the pair had a daughter, Tiffany, together in 1993 before marrying later the same year. As his second divorce played out in court, Trump met the Slovenian-American model Melania Knauss at a party in New York City in 1998. He would propose to Melania at the Met Gala in 2004 and marry her in a seaside church in Palm Beach, Florida in 2005, making her both his third wife and the future First Lady of America. And let's not forget Stormy Daniels , the adult film actress who claimed she had a one-night stand with the businessman in 2006. Trump was later found guilty of 34 felony counts stemming from a $130,000 hush money payment he made to Daniels in the run up to the 2016 Presidential Elections. But Trump himself has admitted to only having 'one regret in the women department'. Writing in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback, he said: 'I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. 'I met her on a number of occasions,' he continued. 'I couldn't help but notice how she moved people. She lit up the room with her charm, her presence. She was a genuine princess – a dream lady.' It has been reported that Trump attempted to pursue Diana as his 'ultimate trophy wife' after her highly-publicised divorce from Prince Charles in 1996. In a Sunday Times column, former BBC journalist and friend of Diana, Selina Scott recalled huge bouquets of flowers arriving at her Kensington Palace home. This was the same tactic he used when wooing first wife Ivana. 'Trump clearly saw Diana as the ultimate trophy wife,' Scott wrote. 'As the roses and orchids piled up at her apartment she became increasingly concerned about what she should do. 'It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her.' Although Trump only met Diana a handful of times, the businessman found it hard to move on after she passed away. In a 1997 radio interview with Howard Stern a few months after Diana's funeral, Trump said he would have 'nailed' her - but suggested he would have had her tested for HIV first. 'Why do people think it's egotistical of you to say you could've gotten with Lady Di?' Stern asked his guest. 'You could've gotten her, right? You could've nailed her?' 'I think I could have,' Trump replied. The two men then acted out a hypothetical scenario in which Trump demanded Diana get tested before they have sex. 'Hey Lady Di, would you go to the doctor?' Stern joked, People Magazine reported. 'Go back over to my Lexus, because I have a new doctor,' Trump added, as if addressing the late princess. 'We wanna give you a little check-up.' In another interview with Stern in 2000, Trump doubled down on his claim that he would have slept with Diana 'without even hesitation'. Discussing his top ten hottest women on the radio show, Trump placed Diana third but only after putting his ex-wife Ivana in second place and Melania in the gold-medal position. Remembering the People's Princess, Trump described her as 'crazy' but said that was just a 'minor detail'. 'I tell you what, I think she's magnificent,' Trump told Stern. 'Lady Di was truly a woman with great beauty. 'I've seen her a couple of times. She was really beautiful, and people didn't realise she was that beautiful. She was supermodel beautiful. 'She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin, the whole thing.' His comments toward Diana make it all the more impressive that Prince William managed to observe decorum on meeting the American president during his state visit in 2019, at the re-opening of Notre Dame de Paris in December 2024 and yet again at the funeral of Pope Francis in April 2025. His comments toward Diana make it all the more impressive that Prince William managed to observe decorum on meeting the American president during his state visit in 2019, at the re-opening of Notre Dame de Paris in December 2024 and yet again at the funeral of Pope Francis in April 2025. But perhaps the prince always knew what his late mother truly thought of Trump, as previously revealed by Earl Charles Spencer. In 2023, Trump was gearing up to release a new book which he said featured letters from world leaders, politicians, and celebrities - including Princess Diana - who all wanted to 'kiss his a**'. In a cut-throat response, Earl Spencer tweeted: 'Surprised to hear that Donald Trump is apparently claiming that my late sister Diana wanted to "kiss his a***", since the one time she mentioned him to me – when he was using her good name to sell some real estate in New York – she clearly viewed him as worse than an anal fissure.' Trump has been invited to the UK on an 'unprecedented' second state visit which is expected to take place at Windsor Castle in September this year.

JAKE PAUL has claimed the UFC is "DYING" in a brutal blast at Dana White following the promoter's latest comments about him.

And Paul has responded to White in blistering fashion, saying: "[The] UFC is dying' 'They don't have any current stars, they have skilful fighters, but it's all boring wrestling. "Where the Dagestani fighters are winning everything by taking everyone to the ground." Paul, who hasn't shied away from taking shots at White down the years, is adamant the MMA mogul was fully aware of his upcoming fight. 'He can say whatever he wants, but you told him about the fight, right?" he continued. "So now he knows. "That's what press and media is. We're selling the pay-per-views. "So maybe people don't know about it today or tomorrow, but on Saturday they're all going to know.' JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 3 Paul's clash with Chavez Jr is - on paper - the biggest of his five-year-long professional boxing career. And he's vowed to add the son of Mexican boxing great Julio Cesar Chavez Sr to his list of knockout victims.

Chess: Carlsen finally achieves 2900 rating as Niemann aims to be Las Vegas party pooper
For years the world No 1, Magnus Carlsen, tried to achieve a 2900 classical rating but he always peaked 10-20 points short of the round figure. The Norwegian, 34, had a personal best of 2889, achieved in 2014. That was 33 points ahead of Garry Kasparov's highest figure and 100 ahead of Bobby Fischer. Carlsen made later attempts but could never get past the 2880s, while the numbers had an eerie similarity to the 28,000s and 29,000s at the top of Everest where George Mallory and Andrew Irvine perished in 1924. In the new Freestyle rating list Carlsen at 2909 is nearly 100 points ahead of Hikaru Nakamura in second place, with his performance boosted by his perfect 9/9 at Grenke Karlsruhe. In contrast, the Fide world champion, Gukesh Dommaraju, ranks a lowly 26th with 2701 points. Carlsen will hope to maintain his new rating next month when the third leg (of five) of the Freestyle $3.75m Grand Slam takes place on 16-20 July at Wynn Las Vegas. The field of 16 will include most of the usual top names but there will be particular interest in one who could turn out a party pooper. Hans Niemann, the 22-year-old whose game with Carlsen at the 2022 Sinquefield Cup led to a $1m lawsuit, was invited to the Paris leg of the Freestyle Grand Slam but withdrew for undisclosed personal reasons. Now, having turned down the easy entrance, Niemann has got in by a much harder route, qualifying for the Las Vegas leg by winning a 16-player knockout where he defeated four top-class opponents, including the former world classical champion Ding Liren. Niemann has also shown significantly improved results in Titled Tuesday, where, in recent weeks, his performances have matched those of Carlsen and Nakamura. Chess in the past five years has enjoyed powerful boosts. Netflix's The Queen's Gambit and its heroine, Beth Harman, were a viewing success, the Niemann v Carlsen lawsuit was widely publicised, Carlsen's personality is popular, while the leading chess site, has millions of blitz games played every day and is also very successful. As a consequence, the incomes of the top 10 or 20 grandmasters have soared from events like the St Louis organised Grand Chess Tour and the $3.75m Freestyle Grand Slam. This year, for the first time, the Esports World Cup, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will include chess (10-minute games without any per-move increment and a $1.5m prize pool). In 2026 Fide's $2m official world championship series will resume centre stage, as India's Gukesh defends his crown against the winner of the eight-player Candidates. Meanwhile, back in Britain, participation remains high but financial returns do not match the stellar numbers. A new survey from reveals that its UK online membership has reached an astonishing 8.9 million players, behind only the US (43.9 million) and India (20.4 million). This stratospheric figure is 600 times that for the membership of the English Chess Federation, which in 2023 was officially 14,567. Worse for the ECF, the £500,000 government grant for elite chess, which Rishi Sunak introduced in 2023, was axed completely as part of the Treasury's departmental cuts at the end of April 2025. One consequence of this is that the rewards for playing success in Britain do not compare with the massive amounts on offer in world events. Next month's English Championship in Warwick (18-21 July) offers £2,000-£1,250-£750 for its top three, while the week-long British Championship in Liverpool from 31 July to 9 August has £5,000-£2,500-£1,500. The highest ever British Championship first prize was £8,000 in 2011. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion There is an obvious event which could make a big difference, and ought to tempt some of the millions of UK residents who play exclusively online blitz on to try a day of over-the-board blitz chess as well. This is the UK open blitz championship, which was launched in 2023 and is now in its third year. Full details for the tournament can be found here. The UK blitz championship uses a three minutes per game plus a two-second per move increment, which is also the most normal time control for blitz games. The championship will have 16 one-day regional qualifying tournaments in August and September, followed by a one-day final at Leamington Spa on 22 November. The one-day qualifiers will be in London (three events at Golders Green, Hampton, and Harrow) Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton.
