Piers Morgan received “a note” from Donald Trump paying tribute to the late Queen.

The 57-year-old broadcaster last interviewed the former US president for Talk TV in April, when the ex-Apprentice star appeared to walk out, but Morgan has revealed they have since been in contact following the death of the British monarch in September.

Asked if he had spoken to Trump since the interview, he told MailOnline: “He sent me a note about the Queen actually. It said, ‘Piers, she was great. Kind regards, Donald.’ Literally. That was after I asked for an interview.”

Last week, the presenter secured a bombshell interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, in which the soccer star vented his frustrations with Manchester United, who subsequently terminated his contract on Tuesday.

Morgan first became friends with the sportsman when he interviewed him in 2019, and he revealed that chat scored higher in the ratings than his interview with Trump did.

He said of Ronaldo: “I interviewed him three years ago. He actually likes my crime documentaries. That’s how it all started.

“So he messaged me out of the blue because he liked my crime documentaries. And he messaged me on Instagram where he’s the most followed human being in the world. And I suddenly got this thing in my inbox from Christiano Ronaldo. I thought, ‘It can’t be’.

“The next thing, he was on the phone and we had a chat about crime. He loves the crime docs. And then I interviewed him in Turin - we built up a friendship, we stayed in touch. And then when he was ready to talk this time, he came to me.”

Just for the record, Ronaldo beat Trump in the ratings.

Everyone's had their say about him. Now it's his turn.

“I would happily interview Cristiano any time he wants.”

Morgan admitted Pope Francis is at the top of his dream interview list.

He said: “The Pope would be good. I don’t know if he’ll be watching tonight but he’ll be good. Well, I’m a Catholic, so it would be quite a big deal to interview them. But I’ve never interviewed a Pope, so that would be great. He’d be up there.”
