People think Queen Camilla gave Kate Middleton 'rude demand' during awkward meet-up with Melania Trump

Queen Camilla has been accused of 'shooing' the Princess of Wales away as they both chatted to Melania Trump yesterday (17 September).

US President Donald Trump and the First Lady are in the UK amid their two-day long state visit, which has prompted protests around the country.

After a very regal welcome followed by a lavish state banquet yesterday, the POTUS is shifting his focus to politics and meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer today (18 September).

Meanwhile, Melania will be spending time with the Princess of Wales, before the First Lady later heads to Chequers to meet her husband and make their way back to America.

However, a seemingly frosty moment between Kate and Camilla appeared to take place on Wednesday, as they welcomed Melania to Windsor Castle.

Video footage, that's quickly made its way around the internet, appears to show the Queen 'nudging' Kate, with some reports claiming that she also 'told her to move'. Awkward.

The interaction happened as the group of six were mingling outside Victoria House, shortly after Trump and Melania landed in the gardens via helicopter.

In the clip, the women were talking as a three, before Camilla appeared to signal for Kate to move, who then takes her position at the end of the line next to Prince William.

Camilla and Melania then briefly spoke for a few moments before the group lined up ready for the horse-drawn carriages.

One social media user shared the moment on Twitter, writing: "Queen Camilla ejected the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, from her conversation with First Lady Melania Trump."

A second commented: "That was rude."

While a third wrote: "What was that? It's like she shooed her away."

And someone else penned: "Wow. What was that from Camilla? She told her to move along..."

However, others have defended the Queen, claiming that she was simply telling Kate that the horses were approaching so she could get into position.

One user explained: "She does not - she warns her the horses are approaching and she and Melanie but also step back."

While a second added: "No she didn’t she was letting her know the carriages had arrived."

And somebody else agreed: "No she didn’t. She said watch out the carriages are coming. Get ready."

Either way, today Kate and Melania got to spend more time together as they took on a joint engagement together at Frogmore Gardens to meet the Chief Scout Dwayne Fields and members of the Scouts’ Squirrels programme.

The lucky Scouts received sandwiches made with honey from Kate’s beehive, as well as a jar of White House honey for each of the children from Melania.

The youngsters, aged between four and five, were taking part in nature activities on the Windsor Castle estate to earn their Go Wild badges.
