Donald Trump says he had “automatic chemistry” with the Queen, following his three-day state visit to the UK earlier this week.

The US president, 72, made the boast to Fox News’ talk show host Laura Ingraham, while he was at the Normandy American cemetery to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Mr Trump said: “The meeting with the Queen was incredible. I think I can say I really got to know her because I sat with her many times and we had automatic chemistry.”

He described the 93-year-old monarch as a “spectacular woman”.
