Prince William and King Charles exploded in ‘streams of profanity’ after comments from Donald Trump about Kate Middleton’s 2012 topless photo scandal, a new book says.
After the photos of the then Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless in Provence, France, were published in the French magazine Closer, the business magnate took to Twitter to comment.
The former president, 76, tweeted: ‘Kate Middleton is amazing – but she shouldn’t be sunbathing naked – only herself to blame.’
He added: ‘Who wouldn’t take a picture of Kate and make a lot of money sunbathing naked. Come on Kate!’
Excerpts from Christopher Andersen’s upcoming biography The King: The Life of Charles III revealed that the tweet evoked “torrents of profanity” from Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry.
“Trump’s criticism of Kate resulted in what a Clarence House butler called ‘torrents of profanity’ from both Prince Charles and his sons,” Andersen wrote. News week.

The advance also stated that Charles was “disappointed” after Trump called him the “Prince of Whales.”
In addition, Andersen wrote that Trump suggested he “could have grabbed” Princess Diana if he had wanted to, also “didn’t help.”
Other revelations revealed in Andersen’s book include that the royal family tried to “discourage” a planned Trump visit to the UK in 2017.
Charles, William and Harry “burned the telephone lines between Clarence House and Kensington Palace, with all three princes agreeing to work behind the scenes to discourage Trump’s visit,” Andersen said.
Trump also commented on the nude photos on Fox and Friends at the time, saying, “While we are all fans of Kate, can you imagine why she would ever be naked?
“Why would she be naked in a pool or wherever she was. She’s Kate. It’s terrible what they did, it’s terrible to take pictures, but boy, how can you do such a stupid thing?’
He added: ‘Who wouldn’t take a picture of Kate and make a lot of money sunbathing naked. Come on Kate!’

St James’s Palace said in a statement that the media’s decision to publish the topless photos was “grotesque”.
“The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi in the life of… [Princess Diana]and all the more disturbing to the Duke and Duchess because they are.’
In 2017, Kate and William were awarded £91,000 ($120,000) in punitive damages.
According to Weekly closerthe former Duke of Cambridge described the release of these photos as ‘painful’, saying: ‘The clandestine way these photos were taken was particularly shocking to us as it violates our privacy.
“My wife and I thought we could go to France for a few days in a secluded family member’s villa and enjoy our privacy.”
Two executives were fined £40,000, the maximum possible fine for violations under French privacy law.
In addition, she and the two photographers were ordered to pay £44,000 to the Duchess and the same amount to the Duke, according to The Express.
