If the new season of The Crown (Netflix) has revived interest in the figure of Princess Anne of England, two moments that the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II has starred in the NATO summit in London related to President Donald Trump have made it a trend in networks.

Both were given during a reception that the monarch offered at Buckingham Palace to the political leaders who attended these past days the high-level meeting of the Atlantic Alliance in the British capital.

In one, according to the video that has gone viral, the princess seems to avoid having to greet the US president and First Lady Melania Trump when they arrive at the reception. Queen Elizabeth, who is accompanied by Prince Charles, gestures to her daughter to join them, but she shrugs as if saying "what do you want me to do" and does not move.

The other moment occurred during the corridors that form before the official dinner, in which Ana was seen laughing with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the British, Boris Johnson, the Dutch, Mark Rutte, and the French President., Emmanuel Macron.

In the scene captured by an indiscreet camera, apparently from the Canadian chain CBC, the name of President Trump is not mentioned, but Johnson is heard asking Macron: "Is that why you were late?"

Macron nods and Trudeau comments: "'He was late because it takes 40 minutes at a press conference." In another moment, the Canadian assures that Trump's advisers "were shocked" at something the president had said.

You can not hear more of the conversation, but from the tone and laughter that you see among the group in which the princess is, you can guess that the reason was the heterodox behavior and statements of the US president.

Whatever it was, the truth is that Trump seems to have disliked the video and this morning he described his Canadian counterpart as hypocritical, although he later added that he is "a good guy." In any case, he decided to suspend his last activities in the British capital and left early for the return to Washington.

Trudeau, for his part, confirmed this morning that the subject of the conversation had been the American president, since he had held an unscheduled press conference before the bilateral meeting they had agreed, according to statements collected by CNN.

As for the "jaw-dropping" comment, he said he was referring to Trump's announcement that the next Group of 7 (G-7) summit will be held at Camp David, something that apparently was not confirmed.
