Former Queen Elizabeth II’s Favorite American President Revealed
In a revelation that sheds light on the former Queen's personal preferences, it has been disclosed that Queen Elizabeth II had a favored American president.
Over her remarkable reign spanning more than 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II engaged with a total of 13 U.S. presidents, from Harry Truman to Joe Biden.
Each interaction between the Queen and the presidents highlighted the enduring alliance between Great Britain and the United States.
The journey of royal encounters began when Princess Elizabeth, who later ascended to the throne as Queen, made history as the first royal to cross the Atlantic to meet with President Truman while she was still a princess.
President Truman warmly greeted her upon her arrival on October 31, 1952, expressing his excitement by referring to her as the fairy princess he had read about in his childhood.
Although the Queen never explicitly acknowledged it, it was revealed that she formed a special bond with President Eisenhower in 1957, marking the beginning of a significant relationship.
Their connection deepened as the Queen visited the U.S. to mend strained U.S.-U.K. relations post the Suez Crisis, where she even experienced American football for the first time, marveling at the physicality of the sport.
During a meeting with Donald Trump, the Queen was asked about her preference for past U.S. presidents, with a specific inquiry regarding Ronald Reagan.
It was during Eisenhower's visit to Scotland with his wife Mamie that he developed a fondness for the drop scones prepared by the Queen.
In 1960, Queen Elizabeth reciprocated this gesture by sending him the recipe along with a heartfelt letter expressing her admiration and warm regards.
Throughout her reign, two other presidents who stood out were Reagan, who shared her passion for horses, and Obama, who made a memorable visit to celebrate her 90th birthday.
Notably, Obama also had significant interactions with the Queen's grandsons, William and Harry.
Despite meeting almost every president during her rule, there was an exception with Lyndon B. Johnson, with no official explanation provided by either the palace or the White House for their lack of meeting.
During the 1960s, Queen Elizabeth met with John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, while in the 1970s, she held meetings with Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.
Reagan, a president she met multiple times, holds the distinction of being the first to stay overnight at Windsor Castle.
Towards the twilight of her reign, Queen Elizabeth played host to a series of U.S. presidents including George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and finally, Joe Biden.
