Donald Trump is closer to the Queen of England’s age than his wife Melania’s. There is a
little fact for you to digest. So, with that in mind, what if The B D and the big Q hooked
up and got all up in our matrimonial grillz? What a question!
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions, I am your host, Rebecca Felgate
and today I am asking What if Donald Trump Married The Queen? Before lift the veil on
this question I just want to ask you guys if you live in the USA or the UK to wave your
hands in the air like you just don’t care, or maybe just leave the flag of the country
you are from in the comments box below.
So, say the longest reigning British Monarch and the 45th President of the United States
did actually meet and some off chance fell in love… the road to marriage would be especially
tricky. Could the pair even marry, if they wanted to?
Donald Trump is 71 years old. Melania Trump is 48 and Queen Elizabeth the second is 92.
While technically this does mean that the 45th President of the United States is closer
in age to her maj than Melania, the Queen would almost be double the age of his third
wife, which, you know… may make Queen Elizabeth feel a little self conscious. Although, her
sister was reportedly partial to a younger chap.
Saucy musings aside, the Queen cannot and would not divorce her husband. Queen Elizabeth
is the head of the Church of England and has stuck out her marriage partly out of love,
but also partly out of duty to the Christian Faith. Elizabeth and Philip have been married
since 1947, 71 years… aka the entirety of Trump’s life. It seems very unlikely at
this juncture that they would divorce. The only way the Queen and Trump would be likely
to marry in this extremely unlikely parallel universe is if His Royal
Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh sadly passed away. Soon to be 97, this isn’t beyond the
realm of possibility, however I imagine the grieving process for the national icon would
set back wedding proceedings a year or more. By the time the Queen did get round to marrying
Trump, she would be one of Britain’s oldest brides. I can imagine the headlines now….
The Daily Mail would have so many field days with the whole affair it might just save journalism
for the next decade. Global news outlets would go wild and the whole world would be pretty
shocked… but then again maybe not…who knows what other crazy things are happening
in an alternate universe where the Queen and Trump are bonking? Green skies? Talking Animals?
Flying Pigs?
So, Mr and Mrs Trump eh? Neigh! Prince Philip wasn’t allowed to give the Queen his last
name, he had to take hers. President Trump would be Donald Windsor from now on, unless
otherwise agreed. The big question here though is, would he get to wear a crown? Well, no.
The Queen outranks her husband. If the Queen and Donald Trump got married, Donald Trump
would not be king, but instead, Prince Consort. Although, he actually wouldn’t be deemed
a prince, either. In the United States Federal Law, a US President cannot hold a title of
nobility unless approved by congress. If he were to become a Duke of some area of the
united kingdom, like, say, Belfast, there would likely be uproar from residents… In
fact, there would likely be uproar in general. The Queen is famously and traditional apolitical,
so marrying a politician would cause a lot of raised eyebrows at the very least, and
a swathe of protests at the very most.
Sure, Trump is a Politician, but marrying the Queen wouldn’t actually gain him any
have any power in the UK. The Queen only has her royal prerogative powers, but they aren’t
shared with her husband. The best Trump could hope to enjoy would be a string of official
duties, like attending galas or going on state tours. Once again, I re-iterate that marrying
the queen would give Trump no power in Parliament.
The marriage would pose a lot of geographic issues as neither active head of state in
the history of the UK and the USA has ever lived outside of their home country. Long
distance would be tricky for an elderly pair…. But perhaps the issue would be solved by making
the UK a 51st state…it is only a tiny bit further away from mainland USA than Hawaii.
If the Queen and Trump did marry, many may expect a lavish wedding. Trump’s past three
weddings have been somewhat sizeable, and the wedding of a monarch or heir to the throne
is usually cause for national celebration in the UK, however the D word would be there
to scupper things once more. Charles caused scandal when he married Camilla in a somewhat
more muted Royal Wedding, but the pair were allowed to go ahead as they had a history.
Donald, with three divorces under his belt, would be unlikely to be welcomed in to the
establishment. Plus, the British public are pretty divided when it comes to the 45th Pres
of the United States. At least Piers Morgan would be a firm attendee on the guest list.
Beyond the wedding, Trump would become stepdad to the first in line to the throne, Charles,
as well as step father to Prince Edward and Princess Anne. I imagine their response to
their new family member may be somewhat tepid. Of course, Trump would become step grand father
to William and Harry, while Ivanka and gang embraced their third or fourth mummy. Imagine
the Christmas Card. Best not to, actually.
Well… while this was fun, I think we can rest assured that this will never happen.
Like…ever. I think Nuclear winter or alien invasion is more likely, but here at Life’s
