Queen Maxima of the Netherlands has gone viral on social media after she was caught imitating US President Donald Trump live on TV. Leaders from around the world headed to the Netherlands this week to attend the NATO summit in the Hague.
The President was welcomed by the country’s King Willem-Alexander and his wife, Queen Maxima, at the royal palace Huis ten Bosch, one of the three royal residences of the sovereign. In a clip which appeared on national TV and was later uploaded on social media, the trio could be seen posing inside the palace, before Trump was shown around the room.
But as they all thanked the photographers with the US President was heard saying “thank you very much,” the Dutch Queen could be seen imitating his mouth movements before moving on to show him the rest of the room.
Royal fans picked up on the moment quickly, with one sharing the clip on Instagram with the message: “The more I watch Queen Maxima of the Netherlands mock Trump’s mouth, the funnier it gets [laughing face emoji].”
The video, uploaded by user @yallgreatyet, who regularly criticises the US President, was captioned: “Homegirl let the intrusive thoughts win, and we get a moment that looks like something from ‘The Office’ as a result #QueenMáxima #Trump #NATOsummit.”
Fans rushed to the comment section to praise the Dutch queen, with one writing: “Now that’s a queen!!”
A second fan wrote: “I’m on Season 7 of this video.” A third one added: “Gotta love a queen with a great sense of humor(sic).”
A fourth asked: “Is this real???? [laughing face emoji] love our queen.” A fifth user commented: “The fact she stared to see how he talks and imitated him got me crying.”
