Queen Maxima of the Netherlands has been accused of mocking US President Donald Trump on live TV.
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is going viral after a brief moment caught on camera appeared to show her mimicking U.S. President Donald Trump’s facial expressions — all while standing right beside him.
Did Queen Maxima Mock Trump?
The clip, filmed during Trump’s short visit to the Netherlands for the NATO summit, shows him chatting with Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander outside the Dutch royal palace, Huis ten Bosch, where he stayed overnight instead of a hotel.
As Trump smiled awkwardly for the cameras mid-conversation, Queen Maxima seemed to study his expression — then suddenly mimicked it, turning to the camera with a similar look. The exchange, while subtle, didn’t go unnoticed.
Social Media Reacts to the Moment
The video quickly exploded online, racking up millions of views. Many users commented that the Queen seemed to momentarily let her “intrusive thoughts” win.
- “She really studied the face and then did it. I love her,” one user commented.
- “She absolutely copied him. That was a ‘blink and you miss it’ moment,” another said.
- “It felt like a deleted scene from The Office,” joked one viewer.
- “She shaded him with class and facial muscles alone,” another added.
Trump Praises the Royal Hosts
Despite the subtle moment, Trump appeared pleased with his hosts.
Speaking to reporters, he said of the King and Queen: “Beautiful people, great people, big, beautiful heart.” He praised the accommodations at Huis ten Bosch, where he spent the night following the first day of NATO talks.
A Brief But Buzzed-About Visit
Trump’s visit to the Netherlands lasted less than 24 hours, but the footage of the Queen’s split-second expression ensured that moment would steal the spotlight.
While neither the Dutch royal family nor the White House has commented on the video, it has sparked widespread speculation — and amusement — across the internet.
