People loved Camilla’s cheeky little wink behind Trump’s back – our 11 favourite reactions
We’ve all been watching the spectacle of Donald Trump’s state visit from a comfortable distance, but some people can’t avoid him, and that includes the Royal family. One member, Camilla – Duchess of Cornwall, had us all nodding knowingly when she made one little gesture as she tagged along behind the President.

So now I'm in love with the Royal family as Camilla winks at the cameras behind #Trump's back as if to say, yes we know he's a w**nker but let's treat him as "The Emperor's New Clothes."#c4news pic.twitter.com/kEjkN6NL3w

I know Camilla’s #wink is strictly speaking not quite up there with 60 years of inscrutable Queenness by HMQE2 but I think it will become iconic and connects us to the job they do for us in a funny, mischievous way. pic.twitter.com/68Rnl8Usg6

I’m certainly not a fan of the royals but fair play, Camilla. That wink basically says “yes, he’s a massive twonk, the sarnies are shit, we’ve got crap cakes in and f7ck knows what she’s come as” https://t.co/nGs57riqtx

She may not be the queen the world wants, but she seems to be the queen the world needs. https://t.co/G8Cm5gNE16

Journalist and broadcaster, Jamie East, had a very specific idea of what the wink meant.
