Donald Trump has never exactly shied away from controversy, especially when it comes to women. Over the decades, his relationships have made headlines\u2014from his marriage to Czech model Ivana Trump in the 1970s, which ended after an affair with Marla Maples, to his later marriage to Marla herself, and now his marriage to Slovenian model Melania Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His public scandals involving women are well-documented. A leaked audio in which he bragged about groping women sparked outrage, and in 2019, journalist Elizabeth Jean Carroll accused him of sexual assault\u2014resulting in a court ruling that ordered him to pay damages. Then there\u2019s the case of adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed a 2006 affair with Trump, leading to legal consequences over hush money payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But among all his reported regrets with women, there\u2019s one that stands out: Princess Diana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback<\/em>, Trump wrote that he \u201cnever had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer.\u201d He recalled meeting her several times and being captivated by her charm and presence. \u201cShe lit up the room,\u201d he said, calling her a \u201cgenuine princess\u201d and \u201ca dream lady.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Continue reading on next page…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n According to reports, Trump attempted to woo Diana after her divorce from Prince Charles, sending lavish bouquets to her Kensington Palace apartment\u2014a tactic he had previously used with Ivana. But Diana confided to her friend, former BBC journalist Selina Scott, that the attention made her uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018What am I going to do? He gives me the creeps,\u2019\u201d she reportedly said. Scott advised her, \u201c\u2018Just throw them in the bin,\u2019\u201d and Diana laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump allegedly later told friends that his biggest regret was that he and Diana had never dated, insisting he always thought he \u201chad a shot\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you see it as audacious, creepy, or just classic Trump, it\u2019s another striking chapter in his complicated history with women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you think about Trump\u2019s reported interest in Princess Diana?
