According to reports, Trump attempted to woo Diana after her divorce from Prince Charles, sending lavish bouquets to her Kensington Palace apartment—a tactic he had previously used with Ivana. But Diana confided to her friend, former BBC journalist Selina Scott, that the attention made her uncomfortable.
“‘What am I going to do? He gives me the creeps,’” she reportedly said. Scott advised her, “‘Just throw them in the bin,’” and Diana laughed.
Trump allegedly later told friends that his biggest regret was that he and Diana had never dated, insisting he always thought he “had a shot” with her. In a 1997 interview shortly after her death, he even suggested that he could have been romantically involved if health precautions had been met.
Whether you see it as audacious, creepy, or just classic Trump, it’s another striking chapter in his complicated history with women.
