Royals go crazy for trendy Canadian PM Justin Trudeau as they let their hair down at Commonwealth dinner

THE ROYAL family were the latest to be charmed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last night as they let their hair down at a Commonwealth dinner reception.

After snapping selfies with Sadiq Khan and kisses with Theresa May, the Canadian Prime Minister turned his sights on charming Prince Harry, Prince Andrew and the Queen herself.

The Canadian Prime Minister has been wooing over politicians and officials left, right and centre as he attended this week's Commonwealth summit in London.

Last night he greeted the Queen who was left grinning as he turned on the charm.

Prince Andrew and daughter Princess Beatrice were left in hysterics during a chat with the Canadian heart-throb.

He was also seen rubbing shoulders with Prince Harry too - with the men looking at ease with one another and making jokes.

World leaders and their spouses attended a dinner at Buckingham Palace with the Queen yesterday in the Picture Gallery, which included a drinks reception in the Blue Drawing Room.

Her Majesty was set to give a speech too as the Commonwealth summit comes to a close.

Yesterday the trendy world leader shared a kiss with Theresa May and held a meeting over drinks in the Downing Street garden.

It came the day after right-on Mr Trudeau held a public meeting with the London Mayor, New Zealand’s PM Jacinda Ardern and dozens of schoolchildren.

He hugged Mr Khan on stage, sparking talk of a budding bromance, and later took a selfie with his two fellow leftie politicians.

Mr Khan gushed that the prime ministers are “two of the leading feminists in the world” as the trio were questioned about gender equality by a room full of children.

Mr Trudeau - who famously insisted that women would have half the places in his government - claimed that he is bringing up his sons to be feminists so they can use their power to promote women’s rights.

Mr Trudeau is loved by some for his charm, youthful good looks and PC politics.

The week-long summit will come to a close later today, where Royals and heads of government meet for talks and photos at Windsor Castle.

Yesterday the Queen said he hoped Prince Charles would replace her as head of the Commonwealth in future.

There was some speculation her son might not automatically take up the role after her.

Theresa May is also set to give her first press conference since the Windrush scandal broke earlier this week.

The summit has been somewhat overshadowed by the news that thousands of immigrants who came to Britain after World War II could have been at risk of deportation.

The PM has been forced to apologise for the scandal, and said no one will be removed from the UK, instructing officials to look into their cases again.

Last night the Home Office said more than 200 were being probed after a special hotline was set up.

But one of the people at the heart of the Windrush scandal is still waiting to find out if he is to get radiotherapy - even though Mrs May promised he would.
