Queen Maxima of the Netherlands mocked Donald Trump as the former U.S. President posed for pictures with the Queen and her husband during a meeting.
She was caught on camera during a NATO summit in The Hague, where the Dutch royals hosted a reception.
Queen Maxima appeared to mimic the Republican leader’s exaggerated facial expressions as he spoke beside her.
A brief moment from the video went viral on social media, with users praising the royal for her expressive reaction.
Trump, however, seemed unaware that he was being mimicked by his hosts as he continued to speak.
The Royal House of the Netherlands on Wednesday shared a picture of the monarch and his wife with Donald Trump as the president of the United States arrived at a reception on the sidelines of a summit in the Hague.
"The King and Queen Máxima receive the American President Trump in audience at Palace Huis ten Bosch. The reception is and margin from the NATO summit," said a brief statement which accompanied the photo.
Trump arrived in the Netherlands late on Tuesday for NATO's annual summit.
Meanwhile, Trump's meeting the Dutch royals coincided with the Buckingham Palace statement that Britain's' King Charles will host Trump for a state visit later this year.
