On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited Britain, and a brief interaction during their meeting with the Royal Family has captured widespread attention, fueling speculation about tensions within the royal circle. The moment, now viewed millions of times online, features Queen Camilla displaying impatience with Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, during a conversation with Melania Trump.
In the widely shared video, Queen Camilla and Melania Trump were engrossed in a discussion when Kate Middleton approached, attempting to join the exchange. Camilla, however, appeared displeased with the interruption. Observers on social media noted that the queen glanced away several times before subtly gesturing for Kate to move aside.
Kate Middleton, momentarily uncertain, seemed to consider joining Prince William and other royals nearby but ultimately stepped away. The video, viewed over 3.1 million times, was shared from an X account known for supporting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The caption read, “Ok you can go now, the grown ups need to talk 😂 Cammy is no joke 😂😂😂.”
Online reactions poured in, with many describing the exchange as an uncomfortable moment hinting at royal discord. One commenter wrote, “Queen Camilla dismissed the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, from her conversation with First Lady Melania Trump.”
Another user remarked, “Camilla signaled, ‘Alright, you can leave now. You’re drawing too much attention, and I can’t get a word in with you here. Take your husband and go.’”
A third person chimed in, “I’m all about Camilla’s sharp side-eye,” clearly relishing the dramatic moment. Another observer commented, “That was the ‘shoo’ felt around the globe. Camilla looked at Kate and basically said, ‘Melania and I are talking, so step aside.’ Ice cold.”
One user speculated, “It seems like Camilla isn’t too fond of Catherine.”
Some online commentators framed the moment as a form of poetic justice, referencing an earlier event at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral where Kate had similarly sidelined Meghan Markle. One X user wrote, “I love a good slowed-down clip. After Camilla sent Kate away, she looked so isolated among the crowd. Three years ago, at the REAL Queen’s funeral, Kate was part of the ‘mean girls’ who treated Meghan the same way. Now she knows how chilly it feels to be on the outside.”
