Royal Insider Says Queen Impersonated Melania
Known for her wit and clever use of language, Queen Elizabeth was also skilled in impersonations, according to royal commentator Ephraim Hardcastle. He claimed that in her later years, the queen enjoyed mimicking both Donald and Melania Trump.
Hardcastle described one impersonation in particular: “The late Queen Elizabeth, who hosted Donald Trump three times in 18 months, became adept at impersonating the US President. Less known, however, is that the monarch also had a take on his rarely heard wife Melania.
A source, who was present when she was asked to render the First Lady, says that HM would go silent, put on a bored face and eventually mutter: ‘I want to be alone’ à la Marlene Dietrich. It seems the Queen felt sorry for the latest Mrs Trump.”
Future Visits and Royal Connections
It’s uncertain when the Trumps will next visit the UK and potentially meet with the Royal Family again. Recently, Prince William had an opportunity to connect with Donald Trump while representing King Charles at the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris—a role he assumed as Charles continues cancer treatment.
However, not all royal relationships with Trump have been smooth. Prince Harry came under scrutiny for potentially misleading U.S. authorities about past drug use in his visa application. Trump once suggested he might deport Harry if those claims were confirmed, though he later backtracked.
“I don’t want to do that,” Trump said. “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Melania’s Lip-Twitching Draws Attention
After Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, Melania largely stayed out of the spotlight. She returned to Washington for Trump’s congressional address, but during the speech, social media users noticed a peculiar detail—her lips were twitching.
“Melania is doing that lip thing again,” one user observed. Similar behavior had been noticed back in January when she was traveling with Trump.
Reactions varied online, with some questioning, “Is she OK?” Others speculated she appeared to be “hissing,” “growling,” or even “snarling.”
According to Psychology Today, lip twitching can be a response to emotional distress or stress. It noted that when under pressure, people might experience involuntary muscle movements around the mouth—what some see as nervous tics or symptoms of internal tension.
“When some people are nervous or stressed, their lips will twitch or move about erratically… or visibly distort or contort uncontrollably,” the site explained. “In some cases, when people are holding back from crying, their lips may quiver, blush red, pout, or vibrate just enough to communicate that they are about to cry or they are emotionally distraught.”
It added that because lips are highly sensitive and rich in nerves, they often react instantly to emotional shifts. “Under extreme stress, they are compressed tightly together or are pulled into the mouth, and they literally disappear.”
