Rod Stewart just took another very public swipe at Donald Trump — and this time he did it right in front of King Charles.
The 81-year-old rock legend reignited his long-running feud with the president during a star-studded royal reception in London, where insiders say his comments left Trump absolutely raging behind the scenes.
Stewart attended a celebration marking the 50th anniversary of The King’s Trust at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 11, where he greeted King Charles and Queen Camilla alongside his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood.
But according to witnesses, the conversation quickly turned political.
While praising Charles for the way he handled Trump during the monarch’s recent trip to America, Stewart reportedly mocked the president in front of guests and cameras.
“May I say, well done in the Americas. You were superb, absolutely superb… put that little ratbag in his place,” Stewart reportedly told the King.
Guests were said to have burst into laughter as Wood grinned nearby.
Stewart allegedly kept going, saying Trump completely missed the subtle digs aimed at him during the royal visit.
“Exactly, that’s it — it went right over his head,” the singer joked.
Turning to Queen Camilla, Stewart reportedly doubled down, praising Charles for being “so brave” and “so proud” during the trip.
But while the room may have laughed, sources close to Trump claim the president was anything but amused.
According to insiders, Trump was furious after hearing about the exchange — especially because it happened in front of the British monarch.
“Donald thinks Rod Stewart has become another celebrity trying to stay relevant by attacking him,” one source claimed. “He thinks it’s pathetic and beneath someone who used to entertain millions of Americans.”
Another insider alleged Trump was particularly irritated by what he viewed as the monarchy getting dragged into political shots against him.
“Trump believes the monarchy should stay neutral,” the source said. “He was fuming when he heard about it.”
Now, according to sources familiar with discussions happening around Trump allies, some supporters are allegedly talking about ways to quietly make life difficult for the legendary rocker.
And one topic that has reportedly resurfaced? Stewart’s wild drug-fueled past.
A political insider claimed people in Trump’s orbit have been revisiting Stewart’s long history of cocaine use and partying during the height of his fame in the 1970s and 1980s.
“There’s chatter that if things escalate further, Trump could push for scrutiny over whether Stewart should even be allowed to tour or enter the U.S.,” the source alleged.
The insider added: “They think there are ways to make life difficult without doing anything publicly dramatic. It would be a super-sneaky revenge.”
Stewart has never hidden his past struggles.
In interviews over the years — and in his 2012 memoir Rod: The Autobiography — the singer openly admitted to heavy cocaine use during his rock-star heyday.
He insisted he was never addicted and described himself as more of a “social user,” but some of the stories raised eyebrows for years.
Stewart even claimed he and Ronnie Wood once used cocaine anally to avoid damaging their noses and vocal cords.
The singer also revealed he struggled with steroid addiction in the late 1980s and early 1990s, saying the substances eventually caused internal bleeding and hallucinations.
Still, Stewart has credited his lifelong obsession with soccer for keeping him from spiraling completely out of control.
“I always needed to stay match fit,” he once joked.
The latest blow-up is just another chapter in Stewart’s increasingly bitter war of words with Trump.
Earlier this year, the singer blasted the president over remarks involving British troops who served in Afghanistan.
In an emotional Instagram video posted in January, Stewart called Trump a “draft dodger” and defended fallen British soldiers.
“We lost over 400 of our guys,” Stewart said at the time. “Think of their parents. Think about it. And Trump calls them almost like cowards. It’s unbearable.”
Now the feud appears far from over — and insiders claim both sides are digging in for an even uglier showdown.
