After the Queen of the Netherlands appeared to mock Donald Trump, people have made a similar observation.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands has become the unexpected star of social media after Trump’s appearance at a NATO summit photo session.
The moment went down in the Netherlands on Wednesday, when Trump arrived for the NATO summit and posed for photos alongside Queen Máxima and her husband, King Willem-Alexander, shortly after stepping off his plane.
In the clip now making the rounds online, the trio is seen standing together, smiling, as Trump flashes his signature thumbs-up gesture.
King Willem-Alexander stood closer to Trump, while Queen Máxima kept a bit more distance.
During the brief exchange, the King asked Trump if he had slept well, prompting Trump to quip: “That’s the picture we want.” He then added: “It was great, the house is…” while smiling and thanking those present.
It was at that exact moment Queen Máxima seemed to imitate the movement of Trump’s mouth before turning back to face the cameras.
Given your political stance, you may have mixed feelings on the moment – but people online have made the same observation… and it’s that the moment feels like it’s straight from TV.
One viewer noted the Queen looked “to camera like an episode of The Office.”
A second person said: “She dead a*s looked at the camera like it’s The Office.”
A third person said: “Why did [she] look at the camera like the office?”
Queen Máxima has not commented on the moment, letting the internet do the talking instead.
President Trump was in the Netherlands as part of a broader diplomatic mission, which included a high-stakes NATO gathering. First Lady Melania Trump did not accompany him on this overseas trip.
Over the weekend, Trump authorized strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities to support Israel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. According to Trump, both Israel and Iran had approached him “almost simultaneously” seeking to end the missile exchanges.
He credited Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and Qatari mediators with helping secure the ceasefire, adding it was achieved through coordinated diplomatic efforts.
Trump’s visit to the NATO summit had been scheduled prior to the ceasefire deal, with leaders rolling out the red carpet and hosting a formal welcome and toast-filled dinner before a packed day of high-level discussions and diplomacy.
