Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to express his condolences about the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but he did not claim that the queen had secretly knighted him, as an image circulating online suggests.
“I never told anybody but she knighted me in private,” reads the text in what appears to be a screenshot of a Truth Social post from @realDonaldTrump.
Instagram posts sharing the image were flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)
We found no evidence Trump posted this. Its not in his Truth Social feed, and while we found a post from another user claiming that Trump shared that message, theres nothing to corroborate that.

Trump did once claim that a 2019 visit he took to the United Kingdom was the most fun the queen had had in 25 years, but he didn’t say what the post claims. We rate claims that this screenshot is authentic False.
