Young Prince George shuns high-five, low-five from Canada's Trudeau

Blame it on jet lag or maybe a precocious knowledge that his great-grandmother is Canada's head of state but Britain's 3-year-old Prince George just wasn't going to be charmed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Landing in Canada on Saturday on a weeklong official visit with parents Prince William and Kate Middleton, George, holding his father's hand, ignored Trudeau when he squatted down to the toddler's level to offer a high-five variation, the low-five.

Trudeau then switched his palm for a high-five and subsequently offered a handshake, both of which were seemingly rebuffed, creating an awkward moment on the airport tarmac in the western province of British Columbia.

Canadians felt the princely snub acutely, accustomed as they are to seeing their young premier win over millions of fans around the world and attain social media star status.

"My heart broke 15 times for trudeau in this," said a Twitter user with the handle @OhAlexaandra.

"Justin Trudeau getting denied a high five by a toddler (even if it was the son of the prince) is a great analogy for modern global affairs," said a Twitter user with the handle @EmMcCon.

I think it's a sixth-sense thing with most kids.

They do always know, but in this case I’m going with “3 year olds are unlikely to be anything but tired and grumpy after 8 hours in the air, no matter how plush the accommodations”.

“Listen you socialist twit. You may be Prime Minister and I may only be three, but I am going to be YOUR KING one day. So put your silly hand down and kiss mine like the loyal subject I know you are.”

My grandkids at that age would likely have done the same. No big deal.
