Video: The Queen Berates Italian PM

The Queen has been caught on film berating Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi after he seemed to shout to attract the attention of Barack Obama at a photoshoot.

After the G20 conference in London, world leaders were invited to a photoshoot with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Berlusconi, after the pictures were taken, shouted “Mr Obama!”, which seemed to surprise the Queen. Obama responded “Mr Berlusconi,” in a softer voice.

The Queen then responded: “What is it? Why does he have to shout?”

Today the Queen and Buckingham Palace played down claims she had become annoyed with gaffe-prone Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi at the photocall.
