Queen Elizabeth found Donald Trump ‘very rude’, a sensational new biography of the late monarch claims.

The sovereign, who hosted the ex-US president twice during her reign, is said to have ‘particularly disliked’ the way he looked over her shoulder as if ‘in search of others more interesting’.

She also mused over his relationship with his wife Melania and said she believed they must have ‘some sort of arrangement’.

The astonishing claims are made by Craig Brown in his new book, A Voyage Around The Queen, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail.

He reports the conversation occurred at a lunch ‘weeks after’ one of Mr Trump’s visits.

In his final serialisation instalment today, Brown writes: ‘Over the course of her reign, Her Majesty entertained many controversial foreign leaders, including Bashar al-Assad, Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin, Donald Trump, Emperor Hirohito and Vladimir Putin.

‘She may not have found their company convivial; upon their departure, she may even have voiced a discreet word of disapproval.
