This made me chuckle.
On Tuesday afternoon, President Trump and First Lady Melania welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the White House.
The King and Queen were welcomed to the White House in Royal Fashion, met by a band, soldiers, Red Coats, and British Flags hoisted.

After the arrival of the King and Queen, Trump gave a short speech on the history of the relationship between America and the British.
However, before he went into the more serious part of his speech, in true Trump fashion, he cracked a joke!
Trump, as he began his speech, stated that, as a boy, he remembered his mother telling him that Charles was “cute” and that she had a “crush” on him.
AOL reported more on Trump’s hilarious comment:
At the White House this morning, President Donald Trump delivered remarks to welcome King Charles and Queen Camilla, and spoke about his own family background and admiration for the royal family. “He’s a very elegant man,” Trump said of King Charles, and praising his “beautiful accent.”
Trump also spoke about his mother, Mary MacLeod, who was a Scottish immigrant born on the Isle of Lewis. “My mother, I just see it so clearly, she loved the royal family, and she loved the Queen,” he said, “Any time the Queen was involved in a ceremony…my mother would be glued to the television. And she’d say, ‘look Donald, look how beautiful that is’. She really did love the family. I also remember her saying very clearly…‘Charles look, young Charles, he’s so cute.’”
Trump then turned to the King, who was seated behind him to the left, to mouth “my mother,” before adding, “My mother had a crush on Charles. Can you believe it?” He said, “I wonder what she’s thinking right now.” This morning, Trump shared an article stating he and the King were distant cousins, writing, “I’ve always wanted to live in Buckingham Palace!!!”
Watch here:

Take a close look at Melania in the video; she absolutely enjoyed the joke.
