Former President Donald Trump is set to publish a letter sent to him by King Charles III, allegedly without permission, ahead of his coronation in May.
The letter is part of a book coming out on Tuesday called ‘Letters to Trump,’ which features celebrities and other people who have corresponded with the 45th president during his life.
The correspondence range from the expected – former President Richard Nixon, golfer Arnold Palmer – to the surprise – actor and eventual Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin – who have gotten in touch with Trump over the years.
One of those letters is dated from 1995 and set to Trump from then-Prince of Wales, thanking him for offering an honorary membership to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Trump has lauded Charles in the past and expressed his fondness for the new King, but this letter is allegedly being published without his permission.

In the letter, King Charles III wishes Trump success with the then-new resort and country club and said he was interested in visiting, according to the Daily Telegraph.
He also reportedly invited Trump to visit Charles’ Institute of Architecture in London.
Trump also published a letter from 1997 from Diana, Princess of Wales, just weeks before her death.
She was sending him gratitude for giving her flowers on her birthday.
‘They truly are quite magnificent, and I am deeply touched that you have thought of me in this special way,’ she wrote on July 3, 1997.
Trump said in an interview last October that he believes King Charles III has ‘got a great way about him’ and that Queen Consort Camilla is ‘absolutely lovely’ as he praised Britain’s newest leaders.
The former US president, alleging he knows the King ‘quite well,’ said the new monarch has ‘an agenda’ and a ‘strong view on things’.
Trump predicted that Charles would do ‘very well’ as King and would likely ‘refrain’ from discussing certain elements of politics.

He has often spoken of his deep and personal admiration for the leaders of the UK, specifically Charles’ mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Trump met the Queen twice as president, first at Windsor Castle for tea in 2018 and then during a full state visit the following year.
He spoke often of the way his Scottish-born mother loved the Royals and the Queen in particular.
Trump also made clear that his two visits to the UK were among the highlights of his time as president.
After his first meeting, when he inspected the guard and took tea with the monarch, he said they had got along famously.

‘We then go up and we have tea. And I didn’t know this – it was supposed to last 15 minutes but it lasted like an hour,’ he said.
‘Cause we got along. And she liked our first lady and our first lady liked her.
‘But we got along fantastically well. But the time went by – you know, sometimes you get along and the time goes by.
