Footage of what appeared to be an awkward moment involving Queen Camilla was captured as the royal stood beside Kate Middleton during a conversation with First Lady Melania Trump at the formal state visit welcome. Many claimed that it seemed that the Queen looked around “awkwardly and cluelessly” as the Princess of Wales continued her interaction with the first lady. The 78-year-old also appeared to instruct Middleton to move along, which the 43-year-old royal obliged.

After the initial greetings, President Trump began speaking to King Charles and Prince William. Camilia and Middleton turned to Melania to have a conversation. The now-viral moment involving the two royals was captured during this interaction, where Queen Camilla looked uncomfortable and started awkwardly looking around.

She then seemingly motioned the Princess to move along by sweeping her hand, and Middleton wrapped up her conversation with Melania and walked away to join her husband.

How did social media react?

The moment prompted a series of reactions on social media. An individual posted, “What’s happening with Camilla? She seems to feel out of place, looking around for an exit.” Another added, “I love the way Princess Catherine always looks so happy and interested in talking to whoever comes to visit. She’s such a beauty and chooses her clothes well!”
