As he handed it to Father Christmas, he said: “I’ve seen you and I had to give you this letter.” William added laughing: “He hasn’t written DONALD Trump was “wrong” to retweet videos produced by the “hateful” Britain First organisation, Prime Minister Theresa May has said.
But Mrs May indicated that she is not withdrawing her invitation for the US President to come to the UK on a state visit, despite widespread calls for the trip to be cancelled.
Mr Trump sparked outrage in the UK by retweeting three videos from the far-right group, purportedly showing violent acts by Muslims.
In response to a statement from Downing Street describing his actions as “wrong”, the President issued a late-night tweet directed personally at the Prime Minister, saying: “@Theresa_May, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!”

“On the issue of radical Islamism, British Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding who have themselves been victims of acts of terror by the far right. There are those who conduct acts of terror in the name of Islam, but it is not in the name of Islam.
“As Prime Minister, I am very clear about the priority that I give to dealing with the challenge of the threat of terrorism and extremism from whatever source they come.”
Asked whether she regarded the US president as a “supporter and enabler of farright groups”, Mrs May said: “We must all take seriously the threat that far-right groups pose both in terms of the terrorist threat that is posed by those groups and the necessity of dealing with extremist material which is far right as well.
“I’ve commented in the past on issues in the United States on this matter.
