Donald Trump really, really wanted to date Princess Diana

Such was his obsession with Princess Diana that he reportedly stocked up the Kensington Palace with flowers post her divorce with Prince Charles.

Princess Diana and Donald Trump.

She was counted among one of world's most-loved public figures. And he? Well, he's the President of the United States of America.

And if you're thinking there's no possible way their worlds could've collided, you're in for a serious surprise. A report by Marie Claire suggests that Trump was quite obsessed with Princess Diana's "supermodel beauty" and tried to actively pursue her after her divorce with Prince Charles and before her tragic demise in 1997.

Both, Princess Diana and Donald Trump were reportedly, part of the same social circle. During one such social gathering, Trump offered Diana a free membership to his Florida club that she refused.

But it didn't end there, Trump is also believed to have accelerated his attempts to woo Princess Diana post her divorce with Prince Charles in 1995.

"He bombarded Diana at Kensington Palace with massive bouquets of flowers, each worth hundreds of pounds," The Sunday Times quotes Selina Scott, a broadcaster as saying.

"As the roses and orchids piled up at her apartment she became increasingly concerned about what she should do. It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her," Scott added.

Back when he wasn't POTUS, Trump also mentioned Princess Diana in his book, The Art Of The Comeback. "I couldn't help but notice how she moved people. She lit up the room. Her charm. Her presence. She was a genuine princess--a dream lady," Daily Mail UK quotes an excerpt from the book.

Besides other things, Trump appeared in an interview where he, in signature Trumpesque manner, boasted about how he could've "nailed" Princess Diana. "She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin," Trump told DJ Howard Stern on his radio show in 1997, post Diana's death.
