DONALD Trump has been welcomed by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace ahead of meeting with fellow leaders for the NATO summit. The US President landed in London last night for a meeting of world chiefs, and is now enjoying a whirlwind tour of meetings with world leaders and Royals. Princess Anne has become the subject of speculation after a video showed the Queen seemingly gesturing to her daughter for giving the royal line-up to greet Donald Trump a miss. The footage from a Buckingham Palace reception for Nato leaders went viral, with some viewers suggesting the princess had snubbed the US president and first lady. But it has since emerged that the Queen seemed to be turning her head to see which world leader was next to greet and spotted Anne in the distance. The princess, raising her hands in the air, laughed and said "It's just me", before adding "and this lot", pointing to the members of the household behind her. #NoToNato protesters gathering outside Buckingham Palace as Trump hob nobs with NATO leaders. Sad to say the police stopped us gathering in the agreed area for 45 minutes. But better late than never. We're here for peace and disarmament! #NoToTrump #NATOLondon

A candid moment between Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne in front of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump is resulting in some raised eyebrows.
A video from Tuesday evening’s Buckingham Palace reception, which marked 70 years of NATO, shows a now-viral interaction between the 93-year-old monarch and her only daughter. In the clip, the Queen shakes hands with President Trump and the first lady, then looks to Princess Anne, who shrugs — and many called it a “disagreement” between the mother and daughter or a snub to the American president.
But a royal reporter who was inside the event is setting the record straight. Valentine Low shared the real story on Twitter, starting his chain of posts: “OK, here goes… Princess Anne: the truth. No, she didn’t snub the Trumps. And she wasn’t told off by the Queen.”
Low explained that Queen Elizabeth turned to Anne to see which world leader was next to be greeted. However, the Trumps were last, so Princess Anne raised her hands in the air, laughed and said: “It’s just me.” She then added, “And this lot,” motioning to the members of the royal household behind her.

After President Donald Trump called him "two-faced," Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, admitted Wednesday that he and other world leaders were talking about the US President when they were caught on camera at a Buckingham Palace event the night before.
The video, which has gone viral, shows British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, Trudeau and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte appearing to have a laugh about Trump's behavior during the summit. But none of the leaders explicitly named Trump.
"Last night I made reference to the fact that there was an unscheduled press conference before my meeting with President Trump. I was happy to be part of it but it was certainly notable," Trudeau said during a Wednesday press conference.
Trudeau indicated that he wasn't concerned about his comments impacting the US-Canadian relationship, but Trump reacted angrily earlier Wednesday calling Trudeau "two-faced," before adding, "honestly with Trudeau, he's a nice guy." Trump also canceled his own press conference scheduled for the end of his trip to the NATO summit. The President was caught on a hot mic of his own after the cancellation, saying, "Oh, and then you know what they'll say. 'He didn't do a press conference. He didn't do a press conference.' That was funny when I said the guy's two-faced, you know that."
