President Trump shared his thoughts and feelings about meeting the Queen of England on Friday in an interview with Piers Morgan.

“Well first of all I was thinking about my mother. My mother passed away a while ago and she was a tremendous fan of the Queen. She thought she was a woman of elegance, and my mother felt she was a great woman,” the president said in the interview published Sunday. “I remember even as a little guy, if there was any kind of a ceremony to do with the Queen, my mother would be watching the television – she wanted to see it.”

“She is so sharp, so wise, so beautiful. Up close, you see she’s so beautiful. She’s a very special person. And the way she’s conducted herself for so many years. And she’s got a lotta years left,” he continued.

The president met the Queen on Friday at Windsor Castle with First Lady Melania Trump. (RELATED: Trump Becomes 11th President To Meet Queen Elizabeth)
