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.

His snooty is in-bred. Lol.
I think it's a sixth-sense thing with most kids.
Kids usually know who is a phony.
Smart kid
He;s being taught CLASS!!! Idiot child Trudeau wouldn’t know class if it bit him!
That little girl reminds me of “Dee” from the 1970s sitcom, “What’s Happening!!”
He’s a freekin’ 3 year old for Gods sake.
Prince George is the spitting image of Louie Anderson! lol
The young prince knows a country-killing epic Commie a$$hole when he sees one.
Little snot nose knows not to allow the lower species to touch him.
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”.
Good for the little prince. Who wants to shake hands with that POS anyway.
You are right-too funny!
“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.”
Stranger Danger ...
Great pic!
Royals dont do jive or ghetto.
My grandkids at that age would likely have done the same. No big deal.
