While the Queen and most of the rest of the royal family have kept quiet when it comes to their dislike of Donald Trump, it seems that one royal member just couldn’t contain herself when it came to the mockery that is the United States president.
Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles snuck a little wink to officials as well as the cameras after she greeted president Trump during his state visit in the UK.
After a private lunch with the Queen, Donald and wife Melania Trump met with Camilla and her husband Prince Charles for tea in the Clarence House.
“President Trump and the First Lady join The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall for tea at Clarence House,” a tweet from the official Clarence House account read.

It wasn’t long at all before footage of the greeting went viral, as the Duchess’ tiny little transgression was captured when Trump and Prince Charles walked ahead of her. News sites and individuals alike jumped on the opportunity to catch the small snub:
George Bowden, a HuffPost reporter, shared the video and captioned, “Camilla’s wink as Charles leads Donald Trump for tea #TrumpUKVisit”

The editor-in-chief at Royal Central, a news site specifically about the royal family, Charlie Proctor decided to make a little joke, captioning the video with, “Royal Protection Officer: “Camilla, if you are in trouble then wink, we will come and rescue you.'”

According to news.com.au, Camilla was winking at British officials who had just had the displeasure of meeting with Trump and Melania right before her.
While the slight is seemingly small, it speaks volumes in an environment such as that of the royal family. With just a wink, Camilla was able to convey, “I know. He’s an idiot.”
