UPDATED, Dec. 4 at 4:45 p.m.: Valentine Low, a royal reporter present for the event, claimed that Princess Anne didn't snub the Trumps, and that she wasn't chastised by the Queen. Low tweeted that after shaking hands with the Trumps, the Queen had turned to Anne to see who was next in line to be greeted. But since there was no one waiting, Princess Anne simply shrugged and said, "It's just me."
Princess Anne might be everyone's favorite new royal after a now-viral video showed her seeming to snub Donald Trump.
Donald and Melania Trump were visiting the U.K. on Tuesday evening, and attended a NATO reception at Buckingham Palace, where they were greeted by the Queen, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall — but apparently not Princess Anne, who could be seen standing off to the side while her family shook the Trumps' hands. Queen Elizabeth can be seen signaling for her daughter to join in the greeting — and Princess Anne's response is a laugh and a nonchalant shrug.
The Queen chastising Princess Anne for not greeting Trump and Anne not giving a single $hit is the mood we all need to take into today
That shrug (and the expression on her face) quickly went viral, and by Wednesday morning, Princess Anne was trending on Twitter, and has essentially been crowned the new favorite royal.
