A shocking 1997 Howard Stern interview has re-surfaced in which Donald Trump makes salacious remarks about late Princess Diana and her sexual health.
The president said in two different chats with shock jock Stern he would have slept with the royal beauty, but that he would have made her take a HIV test beforehand.
In an interview with Stern on his morning radio show in 2000, Trump revealed ‘without hesitation’ he would have gotten intimate with Her Royal Highness – and previously in 1997, he spoke on the topic again.
Trump stated he would have ‘nailed’ Diana but suggested only under circumstances her HIV test came back clean.
The old remarks re-emerged just days before the Princess of Wales’ son, Prince Harry, is set to marry California actress Meghan Markle.
Donald and Melania won’t attend the royal wedding – like other political leaders they weren’t invited to the society event – but the White House said they will make a donation to one of the charities Harry and Meghan recommended to their guests.
The couple has asked guests and well-wishers donate to charity close to their hearts rather than buying a gift when they tie the knot on May 19.
Causes they selected include social change, women’s empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness and the Armed Forces.
They showed their determination to continue Princess Diana’s work in support of people with HIV by nominating the Children’s HIV Association, as well.

Stern asked Trump: ‘Why do people think it’s egotistical of you to say you could’ve gotten with Lady Di? You could’ve gotten her, right? You could’ve nailed her?’
Trump replied: ‘I think I could have.’
In a conversation just months after her death, Stern started to imagine a conversation between Trump and Diana, saying: ‘Hey Lady Di, would you go to the doctor?’ Stern mockingly asks.
Trump then runs with the joke, imagining the conversation with the royal.
‘Go back over to my Lexus, because I have a new doctor,’ he says, as if addressing her. ‘We wanna give you a little checkup.’
The pair were carrying on an earlier joke in the conversation where Trump said he always made sure women had HIV tests before sleeping with him.
The now president Trump also commented on Diana’s appearance in interview.
‘She had times when she didn’t look great, and sometimes you look better than anybody in the world. But she was a supermodel.
Trump was a regular guest on Howard Stern’s (pictured) show during the 1990s and early 2000s, where the pair would have misogynistic and lewd conversations about sex and women
‘She was crazy, but you know these are minor details,’ Trump added.
Later that year in November 1997, Trump published his book, The Art of the Comeback, in which he wrote: ‘I only have one regret in the women department – that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer.’
‘I met her on a number of occasions,’ Trump stated. ‘I couldn’t help but notice how she moved people. She lit up the room with her charm, her presence. She was a genuine princess – a dream lady.’
A few years later he spoke about Princess Diana once again: ‘She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin, the whole thing,’ he said during the May 2000 call-in. ‘She’s magnificent.’
Trump called into the show to discuss his top ten hottest women list with Stern in the recording, released by Factbase.
Princess Diana was third on his list, after ex-wife Ivana in second and now-First Lady Melania in first.
The show saw him also make outlandish comments about Angelina Jolie, who he said had lips that were too big, as well as Mariah Carey and Cindy Crawford, who he also said he would sleep with.
The old remarks have re-emerged two days before the Princess of Wales’ son Prince Harry is set to marry California actress Meghan Markle on Saturday. Couple pictured above in England in November

The pair met on a number of occasions, including at a charity dinner for some of New York’s most powerful at the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan in 1995, where fate had placed Donald Trump on the princess’s table – although his second wife Marla was also present.
He didn’t make a move at the dinner, but six months later – soon after Diana announced her divorce from Prince Charles in July 1996 – she was surprised to receive a huge basket of flowers from Trump for her 35th birthday.
Trump attached a message expressing his sympathy over her divorce, his regard for her and even, it is said, suggesting they get together.
However, it’s clear the princess didn’t feel the same way.
British broadcaster Selina Scott claimed he actually gave Diana ‘the creeps’.

She says the billionaire businessman pursued the Princess of Wales to the point of ‘stalking’ in the mistaken belief he ‘had a shot’ with her.
Writing in the Sunday Times, she said: ‘He bombarded Diana at Kensington Palace with massive bouquets, each worth hundreds of pounds.
‘Trump clearly saw Diana as the ultimate trophy wife. 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.
‘When she died in the tragic accident in Paris in 1997 Trump told friends his biggest regret was that they hadn’t dated.’
He said that he always thought he had a chance of romance and would have had a ‘shot’ with her.’
Trump’s spokesman said at the time that they liked each other a lot but nothing ever came of it.
