On Saturday, President-elect Trump and Prince William met at the re-opening ceremony of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and later had a sit-down meeting at the British Embassy before Trump's inauguration.

At Notre Dame, Trump and William separately met with world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Jill Biden, representing the United States, was seen shaking hands and speaking with William at the ceremony.

The Duke of Cambridge was tasked to represent Britain at the event, and following the ceremony, he and Trump met at the British Embassy in Paris to discuss the relationship between the U.K. and the U.S.

The Trump transition team and Kensington Palace have been contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital for comment.

The pair's first meeting since Trump's re-election occurred during his second term in 2020 when he made another state visit to the U.K.

In 2022, William met with President Biden and discussed the Earthshot Prize.

In 2019, Trump met with Prince Charles and they had a "good working relationship," according to Clarence House.

In 2019, Trump revealed to ITV that their scheduled 15-minute meeting during his state visit with Charles actually lasted over an hour, and they discussed the environment.

"In 2019, Trump stated to ITV that he is passionate about climate change and believes it is important for future generations to have a good climate. He wants to ensure that the climate is not a disaster for future generations. Trump agreed with this sentiment."
