Queen Maxima Accused of Mocking Donald Trump During NATO Visit
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands faced accusations of mocking President Donald Trump during his recent visit to the country for the NATO summit in The Hague (June 24-25).
The Incident: A Royal Jest Caught on Camera
During Trump’s stopover at Huis ten Bosch Palace, he posed for photos with Queen Maxima and King Willem. The president smiled broadly and gave a thumbs-up to the cameras. However, a video clip captured Queen Maxima seemingly mocking Trump’s mouth movements right after he said “thank you.”
She then locked eyes with the camera in a moment reminiscent of a comedic TV show, before the shot quickly zoomed out.
Body Language Insight: Queen Maxima’s Dominance
Body language expert Darren Stanton, representing Genting Casino, analyzed the photo of the trio. He noted that Queen Maxima appeared more dominant than King Willem. While the king displayed a self-soothing gesture by covering his abdomen, the queen faced Trump directly and mirrored his gestures — signaling an attempt to assert dominance.
