Apparently, Vanity Fair came out with a story this week claiming that West Wing aides have given Ivanka Trump a petty nickname: Princess Royal. 

It allegedly began after the first daughter briefly took Donald Trump’s place at a conference table with world leaders at the G-20 summit last month. Most of the people there were quick to point to the fact that she wasn’t elected.

“Excuse me,” one former Trump adviser told Vanity Fair. “This is not a royal family, and she’s not the princess royal.”

“When they decide it’s more important to protect their own and their children’s reputations than it is to defend their indefensible father’s,” another source said, “that’s a sign the end is near.”

A Washington veteran later added: “What is off-putting about them is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance. They think they are special.”

Dang… things are getting petty at the White House.
