President Donald Trump took a golf trip to Scotland in July last year where he was accompanied by his aide Natalie Harp.
Harp accompanied Trump to Turnberry last July for a second visit, where she followed him on the golf course and sat in on at least one meeting with a world leader.
Harp has been in the news recently for her close relationship to the president, which gave her the name "human printer" by social media users online. Harp is known to take print outs of stories the president would like and carries a portable printer around with her, which led to the nickname. In July last year, she was spotted gazing at him on the golf course during his 2025 visit to Turnberry, wearing a white and pink "TRUMP" baseball cap.
Harp was even seen sitting in on a bilateral meeting with European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen, wearing a fuchsia suit, sitting next to Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and his now-wife Bettina Trump, then Bettina Anderson.

Two years earlier, in September 2023, Harp accompanied him on a tour of his Scottish and Irish courses during his campaign for the 2024 election.

Yesterday, outlets published the first known photographs confirming reports that she had followed Trump's golf cart around on foot, even running full tilt up a hill to catch up with him.
Trump's relationship with Harp has been in the spotlight over the past week, as stories emerged of her devotion to the president.
Harp apologized for the 2023 incident where she followed him around his golf course at Turnberry, Ayrshire, on foot, instead of riding in a golf cart.

She told Trump that she was sorry "if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland."
She added, "If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me... I want things to always be right between us.... you are all that matters to me. I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life."
Harp became a main character in Trumpworld last week, when she was name-checked by rising star Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff in a speech. He made a pointed remark about Trump choosing her to fly out of Turkey in his secret escape plane, after the threat of an Iranian assassination attempt forced him to abandon Air Force One.
In his speech, Ossoff said, "He doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie..."
Harp, who is said to work seven days a week and never taking a day off, is a permanent fixture outside the Oval Office.
She is a gatekeeper to people seeking to meet the president and is said to have access to his communications and social media accounts, often helping him craft posts on Truth Social.
Formerly a presenter on right-wing streaming channel One America News Network, Harp caught the President's eye after she credited him with saving her life.

She has said legislation Trump passed during his first term allowed her to get experimental treatment for bone cancer.
Harp joined his 2024 campaign team, going to extreme lengths to stay close to Trump — even reportedly sleeping in the women's locker room at his Bedminster golf resort in New Jersey for an entire summer, after she was not given a room at the hotel. In newly discovered images published yesterday, Trump is seen driving away from "Halfway House," a lighthouse marking the midway point of the course.
Worried that she had upset Trump, Harp explained in a letter during or shortly after the trip: "The first day I was told there were no carts, and people walked, which is why I walked. The second day, I was specifically asked by, I forget who his name was, but one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking, and tell any other girls who would head out there to do the same to spare the Course any more Carts. If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me."
