Did Donald Trump Date Princess Diana? He Certainly Tried

So, no, Donald Trump and Diana never dated, although it was clear he expressed interest in her. Later, however, the former president changed his tune and, per NBC News, told Piers Morgan in 2016 that Selina Scott’s reports were “totally false.”

“Totally false,” Trump said. “It was so false. I liked her. I met her in New York once standing in line, and we were all shaking hands, and that was the only time I ever met her. I read that story that I was calling her or something, and it was so false.”
