Per Times Online, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has made Queen Elizabeth a YouTube hit after a photo opportunity at the G20 Summit yesterday. On camera Berlusconi can be heard calling out to United States President Barack Obama and the Queen can be heard saying, “Why does he have to shout?” This has caused outrage in Italy as newspapers are calling Berlusconi out on being an embarrassment to the country.
The Twitterverse is buzzing about what happened:
