King Charles III 'viscerally despises' Donald Trump privately, royal author Tina Brown has claimed ahead of the four-day US state visit next week.
The former Vanity Fair editor said a royal adviser had also told her that the monarch was 'especially pained' by the President's attacks on Pope Leo XIV.
Charles and Camilla's trip comes amid a worsening UK-US relationship after verbal attacks by Mr Trump on the British military, its Nato allies and Sir Keir Starmer.
The King's first visit to the US as monarch is intended to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence and herald the start of celebrations across the US.
And Ms Brown wrote on her 'Fresh Hell' Substack: 'There will be no whiff next week of how "viscerally", I am told, King Charles privately despises his presidential host.'
Ahead of the trip from April 27 to 30, Ms Brown added: 'The King, a royal adviser told me, will be especially pained by Trump's attacks on Pope Leo.
'In his decades as Prince of Wales, interfaith understanding was always high on his priority list, to the point that he wanted, as monarch, to be called defender of faith, not the faith.'
Mr Trump had accused the Pope of being 'weak on crime, weak on nuclear weapons' and said he should 'stop catering to the radical Left' and 'focus on being a great Pope, not a politician', after the pontiff criticised the US-Israeli war on Iran.
The Pope later said he would continue to 'stand up and say there's a better way' and he is 'not afraid' of Mr Trump but did not intend to 'get into a debate' with him.
Ms Brown also claimed that the King intervened in January when Mr Trump caused fury by claiming that Nato troops stayed 'a little off the front lines' in Afghanistan.
It was already known that Sir Keir raised the comments directly with Mr Trump in a conversation, and the President then wrote on Truth Social that UK soldiers who fought in the country were 'among the greatest of all warriors'.
Relations between the Prime Minister and Mr Trump have been fractious, with the President branding the UK's approach to the Iran war 'terrible' and repeatedly lashing out at Sir Keir – at one point describing him as 'not Winston Churchill'.
But Mr Trump told Sky News last week that the state visit will not be overshadowed by his strained relationship with Sir Keir.

Everyone seems to forget that we fought a war to have "No Kings"
That’s probably true. Fortunately, we don’t care what that virtue signaling little ponce thinks.
UK state-controlled media at it again
You forget the Party of Slavery is still trying to reverse the course of human history. ( hint: not the Republicans)
His country is being taken over and he’s bitchy about Trump. Pathetic.
Tina Brown is an 80-year old bat wearing a 20-year old girl’s hair. Her appearance is as ridiculous as her pretending to have an informed opinion on American politics.
Chuck is a muslim.
“No Kings!!”
As far as I can see, we DON’T have kings.
I don’t know what that has to do with Charles disliking Trump. It’s not our problem.
Man, if Charles is upset about what DJT said about the Pope, just think what Charles will feel when he hears what DJT thinks about mohammed!
Mail’s trying to stir up trouble before the visit.
Just when I thought my opinion of King Charles couldn't go any lower.
Daily Mail. Always good for a laugh.
Charles is in poor health, and will not be long with us. Even if you do not think that William is a prize, he is still better than anything that would come from the present UK Parliament or the EU.
Charles is constitutionally incapable of understanding Trump or citizens who support Trump. His mindset is too foreign.
He should go meet Walz. They’re both into tampons.
King Charles has an IQ below Occasional Cortex and a certain Supreme Court ‘Judge’. . (Yes, this is the ultimate insult, but it’s twue, it’s twue.)
Ergo, no one gives a lying Dorkbama about what that idiot says. I weep for the UK...uh...weep for Britainistan.
The British Monarchy is the exact opposite of everything America stands for. If the feeling isn’t mutual, it should be.
I’ve never understood the fascination with royalty, particularly British royalty.
It’s a despicable institution.
No one cares what King Tampon thinks.
King Charles the Muslim? That King Charles? I’m sure Trump really cares what he thinks.
