Donald Trump once got King Charles' title very wrong in huge Twitter blunder
Welsh journalist Maxine Hughes has interviewed former US President Donald Trump for a documentary called Extreme World, which will air on Welsh channel S4C.
The documentary maker described the 76-year-old as the most difficult interviewee she has ever faced, because he "always answers in the way he wants," she told the Welsh Screen Summit.
It took the US-based journalist more than a year to access the former US president, who will no doubt have brushed up on his Welsh knowledge before the interview.
Trump was famously left red-faced back in 2019 after an awkward title blunder with the then-Prince Charles.

Trump wrote: "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!” Should I immediately call the FBI about these calls and meetings?
"How ridiculous! I would never be trusted again. With that being said, my full answer is rarely played by the Fake News Media. They purposely leave out the part that matters."
The massive blunder, which has now been deleted, stayed on the American politician's Twitter feed for more than 20 minutes, and had over 3,000 comments and retweets, as well as 12,000 likes.
The Tweet was on his feed for over 20 minutes before being taken downMany took the opportunity to poke fun at the businessman, who served as the 45th president of the US from 2017 to 2021. Twitter was flooded with memes of a whale with a crown, as well as pictures of whales with the Queen's son's face Photoshopped on them.
A spoof Twitter profile for the Prince of Wales replied: "'The Prince of Whales'. Very funny, Donald Trump. Did you do that on porpoise?"
Another wrote: "Whales? No but really whales? How many people think Wales is called Whales?"
Another user joked: "Whale of a tweet there, Mr. President."
While a third user said: "You thought the Prince of Whales lived in the ocean."
Trump quickly tweeted a fresh version with the correct spelling, but it was too late. One person said: "Too late. Internet is forever. PRINCE OF WHALES!"
