Was it G20 or T20 for Silvio Berlusconi?

The Queen became a super star when her highness put Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in place after Mr. Berlusconi behaved like a T20 spectator during the photo shoot to mark the G20 summit.

The footage shows the Queen gesturing in mild irritation at the Italian leader as she posed with President Barack Obama and other world leaders in the traditional "family" photograph at Buckingham Palace to mark the G20 summit.

As the photoshoot ends, Mr. Berlusconi is heard shouting: "Mr. Obama, Mr. Obama," prompting the Queen to turn round, sigh and raise her arms in mock frustration, before saying: "What is it? Why does he have to shout?"

Within minutes, the Queen's burst of annoyance - which came despite an attempt by Mr. Obama to silence Mr. Berlusconi by responding in a low voice - had become a worldwide hit after being posted on Italy's YouTube site.
