A gunman has been shot dead at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
King Charles may be related to Donald Trump after an assassination attempt at a campaign rally this weekend.
The former US president was shot in the ear during a keynote speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday. Trump then flew to Milwaukee the next day, where he was officially nominated as the Republican nominee for the November election.
In his first interview since the incident, Trump told the New York Post that he should die.
Speaking to GBN America, former BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole said King Charles could relate to Saturday's shocking events, recalling the monarch's own assassination attempt in 1997.
Cole explained: In Sydney in 1994, a young man with a rudimentary pistol fired it twice in his general direction. And I remember very clearly that the Prince of Wales, as he then was, a There was a police protection officer called Inspector Colin Trimming, and he jumped on the young man who fired the shots and knocked him off the boat to the ground.
The king stood and gazed enthralled, loosened his cufflinks, and gazed at the scene.
Commenting on King's message to Donald Trump following the incident, Cole said that while the context was not known he hoped the letter was heartfelt. was
Cole told host Nana Akwa: "We don't know exactly about any of the content, but you can expect it to be heartfelt and encouraging because heads of state and heirs to heads of state are aware of these threats. Know about everyone who comes in front of you. Communicating with the public.
It doesn't usually happen with an assassin on a rooftop but with members of the public. So soon after the news of the former president's assassination attempt and survival, the king wrote him a note, as he should do.
Noting the positive relationship between King Charles and the former president, Cole revealed that the pair "got on very well" during Trump's official visit to the UK in 2019.
Cole explained: “King met with former President Trump when he was here on an official visit, and having had multiple meetings with him, I'm sure he's getting on very well.
They latched onto the fact that Trump's mother came from the Isle of Lewis and the Hebrides Islands in Scotland and that she was apparently doing very well.
Reflecting on the events of both King Charles and Trump, along with other assassination attempts on royals and political figures, Cole claimed it was part of the lives of presidents and monarchs now".
Praising the strength of King Charles and Donald Trump, Cole praised coolness under fire but criticized the devastation caused by the assassination of the former president.
Cole said: It's sad when something like this happens. We're all very happy that both the King and Trump survived, but it's not right in a great democracy like America that someone should take matters into their own hands like that. causes destruction.
And the consequences of the assassination of former President Trump are simply unimaginable. I remember very clearly the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and what followed.
It was a very scary time, and our thoughts and our hearts were with the American people then and will continue to be with them.
