Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been making headlines with his state visit to India - but has recently been upstaged by a toddler.

In between Bollywood dancing, some slightly cringeworthy outfits and an accidental invitation to an alleged Sikh separatist, Trudeau's had plenty of opportunies to Instagram his trip.

But it's his three-year-old son Hadrien who's been stealing the show during the photo opportunities.

He's showing how to really do a state visit.

Here he is meeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi...
