The Queen gets turned off by Berlusconi

This week was an important week for leaders across the world with the G-20 summit that happened in London. While our President Obama was present at the summit to try and get other nations on board with trying to recover the global economy, our dear Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi also attended and took a few photos with our history-making president.

Attached is a link of the Queen being annoyed with Berlusconi for shouting out Mr. Obama's name to attract his attention. As you will see in the clip, all the G-20 leaders, including the Queen were brought together for an official photo to mark the summit. After the pictures are taken, you can hear Berlusconi in the background saying "Mr. Obama!" and the Queen turns around and shrugs at Berlusconi saying "what is it?" in a tone of annoyance.

Not only is the Italian prime minister the owner of 90 percent of Italy's media, he apparently seems to have a big mouth also.
