At a NATO reception in Buckingham Palace, Princess Anne, the Queen’s only daughter, was caught on camera refusing to come over and greet President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
As the Queen gives her daughter a look common to all mothers, Anne just shrugs and starts laughing, apparently unafraid of the consequences for snubbing the president or, worse, crossing her mother.
Princess Anne is like “ I turned up mum, what more do you want from me ?!” 😅 love Princess Anne ! The shade is reaaaal 🤣

Later on, the princess was also filmed with a cluster of NATO leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, as they made fun of the president and his love of press conferences.

Princess Anne has ALWAYS been an absolute hero in the royal family. Didn’t give her kids titles, first to divorce, working round the clock…

The videos of her gossiping with world leaders & shrugging like a teenager at the queen are just the cherry on top. *chef’s kiss* pic.twitter.com/3RLgQHOxMf
“Why is ‘Princess Anne’ trending?”, I asked myself.

Reader, I was not disappointed.
Princess Anne has long been the “not putting up with your shit” member of the Royal Family.
Her reactions to The Orange Buffoon were bound to be shareworthy. #PrincessAnne

‘[After shooting her chauffeur and bodyguard, the kidnapper] directed Anne to get out of the car, to which she replied: “Not bloody likely!”, and reportedly briefly considered hitting him.’

Fans are also desperate for this to turn up in The Crown.
Oh My God.

I knew this happened.
But I’ve yet to see it up close.
And personal.
Until now.
Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, Rutte and Princess Anne in Buckingham Palace, openly mock Trump.
Cannot wait for this to be The Crown Season 8. https://t.co/ZuHIxwy8ta
I think the greatest part of today is realizing Princess Anne is kind of exactly how she is portrayed in The Crown. pic.twitter.com/4p7USH0fgP

The whole thing seems to have catapulted Anne to the top of everyone’s favorite royals.

Omg. When I was growing up in Illinois, Princess Anne (the brunette with a high bun, wearing the flower print dress and blazer), was the naughty princess. God love her, she hasn’t changed. We stan her reaction to dtump and Mel. https://t.co/r8i8q01CPm

The Princess Anne ‘no, fuck you’ shrug could and should be used in all political situations from here on. Thank you ma’am.
