Maxima and Trump both attended last week's NATO summit in The Hague.

The Queen said she was expressing gratitude to someone off camera and wasn't making fun of the US President in the widely shared video.

She told the Dutch news agency AD, “I said 'thank you' to someone who had helped.”

She described her encounters with Trump during the his visit to Netherlands as a “pleasant experience.”
