Robert Jenrick lavished praise on the Royal Family for "making Donald Trump weak at the knees" during his Tory Party Conference speech in Manchester today.
King Charles and Queen Camilla welcomed the President and US First Lady to Britain last month for a historic State Visit - the second time President Trump was awarded this opportunity as Leader of the Free World.
During their stay, the President and First Lady were treated to a State Banquet and spent a lot of time with the King, the Queen, Prince William and Princess Kate.
Following his visit, President Trump said he liked being with the "wonderful" King, adding: "I think just being with King Charles. He's a wonderful guy.
"I got to know him very well. I knew him before, but now I know him a little better."
President Trump was also asked if the First Lady enjoyed her time with the Princess of Wales after the two women joined forces for an engagement.
He replied: "She did. She thought she was great. I did too.
"I sat with her last night; Melania went with her today; she thought she was great.
