Former President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the British royal family and praised the life of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday following her death at age 96.
Trump wrote in an official statement that he and his wife, Melania, are "deeply saddened" to hear of Elizabeth's passing after her "historic" 70-year reign as Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Queen Elizabeth's "leadership and enduring diplomacy secured and advanced alliances with the United States and countries around the world," he wrote. "However, she will always be remembered for her faithfulness to her country and her unwavering devotion to her fellow countrymen and women.
"Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the great people of the United Kingdom as you honor her most meaningful life and exceptional service to the people," Trump added.
He also reflected on his time spent meeting with the queen while in the White House, stating that he "will always cherish" the time spent with her.
Trump traveled to England in 2018 and 2019, once claiming he "talked the whole night" with the queen during a visit. In an interview on "Fox Nation" recalling the trip, Trump said that everyone in the room, including Elizabeth, was "laughing and smiling" during their dinner.
The former president ended his statement by sending his thoughts and prayers to the United Kingdom and invoking the queen's late husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
"May God bless the Queen, may she reign forever in our hearts, and may God hold her and Prince Philip in abiding care," he proclaimed.

...compare to the words of the woke CRT professor.
Just plain human decency and class.
A class act our President.
A very classy statement that I hope will be appreciated by all - unfortunately the UK does have its crazies who will object to anything he says.
But many will appreciate it.
I wonder how the MSM is reporting his words . . . Donald Trump today is quoted by an unnamed source, “I hope she died an excruciating death!”
I wonder how hard it was for her to watch the uk really go to hell the last 30-40 years. Not really trying to put it on her, as she didn’t have absolute control over every single thing there. The orwellian socialism that has just rotted and ruined everything. The anglican church is a massive joke. Their new warships can’t even function a day without breaking down.
“Just plain human decency and class.”
Yep, that is my President.
Classy.
heard she really liked Trump
Our President.
Well said, brother.
Thanks, brother!
Queen Elizabeth II at 96 was infinitesimally sharper than Joe Bai-din has ever been.
The pictures I have seen of them together make me think that’s true. Her smiles look like genuine enjoyment and not just polite smiles.
Why not. Both were realists.
I truly felt sorry for the Queen (may she rest in peace) when she had to put up with the low class Odungos, with their complete ignorance of royal protocol and chintzy gifts. They were like the Beverly Hillbillies come to Balmoral.
