Trump, 72, was amid a tweetstorm when he referenced the royal as part of his argument that he should not have to divulge details of his discussions with world leaders to the FBI.
“I meet and talk to ‘foreign governments’ every day. I just met with the Queen of England (U.K.), the Prince of Whales, the P.M. of the United Kingdom, the P.M. of Ireland, the President of France and the President of Poland. We talked about ‘Everything!’” he wrote.

The tweet was deleted and replaced with the proper spelling, Prince of Wales, but Twitter users quickly ran with it, sharing memes that poked fun at the misspelling.
Trump’s tweets came one day after he told ABC News’George Stephanopoulosthat if foreign operatives offered damaging information on his 2020 opponent, he’d take it.
“There’s nothing wrong with listening… It’s not interference,” he said. “They have information. I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI — if I thought there was something wrong. But when somebody comes up with oppo research, right, they come up with oppo research, ‘Oh let’s call the FBI.’ The FBI doesn’t have enough agents to take care of it. When you go and talk, honestly, to congressmen, they all do it, they always have, and that’s the way it is. It’s called oppo research.”
The president recently visited the U.K. on astate visitearlier this month, and spent time withQueen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Prime Minister Theresa May, though he was met with protesters who flooded the streets in London and Portsmouth to denounce his visit.
He praised the royal family as “really nice” during aninterview with Piers Morganthat aired onGood Morning Britain, and said he spoke with Charles about climate change
Thursday’s tweet isn’t the first time Trump hasmade headlines for sloppy spelling.
He’s previously misspelled “heal” as “heel” and “honored” as “honered” in various tweets, and misspelled the name of Republican Karen Handel during the special election for Georgia’s sixth congressional district.
Trump also infamously butchered the spelling of “coverage” as“covfefe” in a viral 2017 tweet, and earlier this year, wrote that he’d served the Clemson Tigers football team“over 1000 hamberders”during their trip to the White House.
