A startling claim has surfaced involving the late Princess Diana, former U.S. President Donald Trump, and financier Jeffrey Epstein. The allegation comes from author Michael Wolff, who has written multiple books about Trump. Speaking on a podcast, Wolff said that Trump and Epstein allegedly had a private “competition” to see which of them could have a romantic relationship with Princess Diana first.
According to Wolff, this so-called contest reportedly continued until Princess Diana’s tragic death in a car crash in Paris in 1997. The claim was made during an interview with The Daily Beast’s podcast, Inside Trump’s Head. Wolff, who has researched Trump extensively, also interviewed Epstein in 2017 and claims to hold over 100 hours of recorded conversations with him.
In the interview, Wolff said the two men’s interest in Diana reflected a broader pattern of how they interacted with people, suggesting they often asked themselves what they could gain from others. While the statement is Wolff’s interpretation, it has drawn significant public attention because of its link to one of the most famous women of the 20th century.
The White House Responds Strongly
Following publication of The Daily Beast’s report, Trump’s communications team reacted sharply. A spokesperson criticized Wolff’s credibility and dismissed the allegations. The White House described the claims as false and based on the author’s personal opinions rather than verified facts.

This strong rebuttal came after renewed focus on Trump’s past public comments about Princess Diana. In 2015, British journalist Selina Scott said that Trump expressed interest in making Diana his “trophy wife” following her 1996 divorce from then-Prince Charles. Scott claimed he sent her flowers after the separation.
In 1997, the same year Diana died, Trump told radio host Howard Stern that he believed he “could have” had a relationship with her. Three years later, in 2000, he repeated the remark to Stern, adding that he would not have hesitated to pursue such a relationship. These past statements, while public, have taken on new relevance following Wolff’s claim about a competition between Trump and Epstein.
Connections Under Renewed Scrutiny
Trump’s connections with Epstein have been widely discussed for years, but the topic resurfaced recently following a Wall Street Journal report in July. That report suggested the relationship between the two men may have been closer than earlier believed. Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, was known to have socialized with influential figures across politics, business, and entertainment.
The Justice Department is reportedly holding thousands of files related to Epstein. According to Michael Wolff’s account, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump that he was named in some of these documents. However, the contents of the files have not been made public, and no further official details have been released.
