Aides to former President Donald Trump referred to his daughter Ivanka as 'the princess,' according to a new tell-all book – which describes her efforts to insinuate herself into a meeting with the Queen in 2019.
Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham includes the detail in her new book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now – a title that references her failure to hold a press briefing during her tenure.
Grisham, who went on to serve as first lady Melania Trump's top aide, writes that Melania also referred to Ivanka by the name.
Ivanka Trump, who served as an unpaid senior advisor to the president, regularly referred to him as 'my father' in meetings, she writes. Ivanka sometimes used the term in public.

Grisham terms her husband, former White House aide Jared Kushner, 'the Slim Reaper' for getting involved in projects designated for others, she writes, according to a copy of the book obtained by the Washington Post.
Grisham also writes that the power couple tried to get themselves into a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II during Trump's visit to the UK in 2019.
Only Trump and the first lady attended. It would have been a 'wild breach of protocol,' according to the post. Jared and Ivanka did attend a state dinner.
Grisham writes that the situation was resolved when they couldn't fit into a presidential helicopter.
