King Charles writes privately to Donald Trump following attempted assassination

GB News understands that the monarch wrote privately to former President Trump on Sunday, the day after the attack.

The message was delivered via the UK embassy in Washington.

Buckingham Palace declined to divulge the contents of the letter.

However, it is understood to have been a similar message to that of Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The Prime Minister spoke with the ex-president on Sunday and expressed his condolences for the victims of the shooting.

Starmer said he was “appalled” and that there was “no place” for political violence, while one of his ministers said the UK stood “shoulder to shoulder” with the US.

A bloodied Trump was rushed from the stage to a hospital after the attempt on his life.

He wrote on his Truth Social media platform that a bullet had “pierced” his ear before he was dragged to the ground by Secret Service agents.

The suspected gunman was killed while the Secret Service confirmed one person in the crowd had died and two others had been “critically injured”.

Starmer said: “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally and we send him and his family our best wishes.

“Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.”

Reform leader Nigel Farage said he was "upset" but "not shocked" at the attack.

He added that he would travel to the US shortly as a "show of friendly solidarity" with Trump.

Farage also criticised what he called the "mainstream media narrative" and "liberal intolerance".
