William, who was representing his father Charles as he continues his role as a global statesman, was expected to discuss the importance of the UK's 'special relationship' with the US with both Donald and the First Lady during their respective meetings.
"I had a great talk with the prince," Donald told the New York Post. "And I asked him about his wife and he said she's doing well.
"And I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad."
