With but a shrug of her shoulders, Princess Anne has become Twitter’s hero of the day, or hour, or however long it takes for something else minorly cathartic to happen.
The 69-year-old daughter of Queen Elizabeth II was filmed opting out of a royal receiving line for Donald and Melania Trump at Buckingham Palace after the first day of the NATO summit in London. The queen appears to shoot Anne a disapproving look, to which the princess shrugs and stays put.
That was enough to get Anne to trend on Twitter, with folks praising her as both a “legend” and a “mood.” That might be pushing it.
Judge for yourself whether the bar needs to be raised for either title:
How about we take this to the next level?

"Why is 'Princess Anne' trending?", I asked myself.
Reader, I was not disappointed.
Princess Anne has long been the "not putting up with your shit" member of the Royal Family.
Her reactions to The Orange Buffoon were bound to be shareworthy. #PrincessAnne— Matthew Toohey (@TooheyMatthew) December 4, 2019

Horseface was waiting for somebody to give her a carrot.

Apparently the Queen wanted to give her an orange and she just wasn’t hungry enough for something that spoiled.
ShiningSex
the orange maggot couldn’t handle being rejected by anyone. Too bad Melania rejects him always. They sleep in separate bedrooms. Would you f*ck Trump? Gross!

What do YOU look like? Did you get a banana to post a remark?
MISTERJETT
how many beauty contests have you won?

She still turned up to the event, so it wasn’t much of a snub. She needs to try harder. As for the rest of the Royals, when has any of them showed any true backbone? The list of dictators, war criminals and reprobates that the Queen has happily entertained is staggering. It’s not just Randy Andy who’s known for keeping questionable company.
ShiningSex
at least it was something. the orange maggot is rude to everyone and lies all of the time. He needs to be in jail for his crimes.
ShiningSex
Good for her. He’s scum and so are his followers. They’re just racist idiots.

Who would want to shake hands with the filthiest man alive and his equally dirty wife. There is not enough disinfectant in the world for that.

well HRH did seem surprised when donnie “Grabbed her majesty by the HAND” melania must have him on a short lease, (for a few minutes at least)

My, my, how times have changed. I remember just a few years ago the British parliament was debating whether to ban Donald Trump from entering England. Hardly anybody seemed to have a good word for him. Then he became President of the United States. Now the queen and all the royals are greeting him like some beloved long lost relative.
Perfidious Albion.

Girl, are you really that dense? After Russian money fueled Brexit, Britain is basically having to go begging with a tin cup, so they’ll need every American dollar they can find. Don’t think Queen Elizabeth II, who has dealt with every US administration from Eisenhower to the Traitorous Con Man, doesn’t realize this, much as her presumptive heir Charles does too. She once had to send her wild sister Princess Margaret to Washington to charm $1 billion out of Lyndon Johnson (and you know Margaret brought back those coins too).
As you probably also have failed to grasp, a Conservative government controls the UK, and they are ideologically aligned (though more moderate in some ways, but equally incompetent and racist in others) with the GOP. So they are not going to snub a US president, including this horrendous, psychotic example of one.

Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. But it made a good Twitter trend.

The Windsors are merely Germans POSING as English royalty; Trump is a phony would-be King of America, believing himself to be an omni-potent POTUS and above any law that binds the rest of us. A lot in common, lol…Queen Lizzie II has seen so many world leaders come and go during her lifetime that dealing with them is almost automatic these days. She survived Hitler’s sick-minded regime; what’s the big deal about that orange guy with the electrocuted cat on his head, I’m sure she was thinking…and if I were Anne, I’d watch my step. Ol’ Liz knows how to get rid of unruly princesses who refuse to toe her line, lol….paparazzi in a French tunnel, my ass…..heads up, Annie !!!
