Donald Trump and Queen Elizabeth II met this week for a historic state visit. The UK’s longest running monarch met with the USA’s most controversial President and the pair enjoyed a state dinner on Tuesday night. These sorts of events are held to honour visiting foreign dignitaries. Other royals including Kate Middleton and Prince William were also in attendance.
Donald Trump: Did Queen make dig during UK visit by wearing this tiara?
While a state dinner is considered a incredible honour, some believe the Queen was making subtle efforts to disrespect the president.
A conspiracy theory began to spread across Twitter, claiming the Queen was “throwing shade” at the President.
Throwing shade is a colloquial term which means to criticise or disrespect someone, often in an underhand fashion.
Some suggested the Queen gave the President a book as a present because he has said he doesn’t read often.
Others claimed the Queen wore a specific tiara to have the same affect.
