Royals, they’re just like us. Princess Anne may live in perpetual, inherited luxury, but she’ll still get chastised by her mom (the queen) for refusing to say hello to certain party guests.
Such seemed to be the case at last night’s NATO reception at Buckingham Palace, where world leaders gathered for the 2019 NATO summit in London. The world leader that Anne ostensibly snubbed (on camera, no less) was none other than President Donald Trump.
In the video, the president and his wife Melania Trump stand in line to greet Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. The queen looks over to Anne, who is standing off to the side, and gestures for her to greet the Trumps, to which Anne responds with a nonchalant shrug. Now, from the perspective of the video, I can’t see the queen’s reaction to Anne’s flippant dismissal of the leader of the American empire, but I imagine it’s withering.
Unsurprisingly, the princess wasn’t the only public figure dissing the head of the White House.
Another video shows Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson standing together in a circle like a group of sniveling gossips during lunch in the schoolyard. Their words are barely perceptible: “He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top,” Trudeau says, and, later, “You just watched his team’s jaws drop to the floor.” The French PM seems to refer to a lengthy and impromptu press conference Trump made earlier that day, according to the Washington Post. Macron chimes in on the conversation too, and although it’s hard to discern his words, there’s certainly a lot of finger wagging going on.
