Platinum Jubilee: All US Presidents the Queen has met during her 70-year reign
Daily Record ^ | June 2 | By Peter Davidson

Posted on 06/03/2022 11:00:07 PM PDT by RandFan



The Queen has seen politicians come and go during her 70 years on the throne, however she has always made time to wine and dine US Presidents.

During her reign there have been 14 US Presidents and the Queen has met all of them, bar one.

Lyndon B. Johnson, who took over from John F. Kennedy after he was assassinated in 1963, is the only US head of state never to meet Her Majesty.

And, despite being Princess Elizabeth in 1951 she still met the US President (Harry S. Truman) at the time while she was on a tour of the country.

Throughout the last seven decades the Queen has given official state visits to just three presidents (Trump, Obama and Bush Jnr).

So, here's all the times the Queen has met US presidents:

Harry S. Truman

When King George VI was on the throne the Queen went to America to visit the US President when she was still a Princess.

The Queen was accompanied by her husband Prince Phillip on the trip in October 1951.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

In 1957, the Queen headed stateside for her first trip to the United States since her coronation following her father's death in 1952.

Dwight D. Eisenhower put on a state banquet for Her Majesty. At the dinner the US president wore a British Order of Merit that had been awarded to him by King George VI

I'm of Irish blood (100%) and one of my Dad's older brothers (born around 1900) *hated* the British. But despite what the British may,or may not,have done to my ancestors I don't hate them...in fact,I rather admire them.

I don't love the Queen but I certainly don't hate her.I think Paul McCartney nicely summed up my opinion of her when he wrote "Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl..."

Any chance that when Elizabeth passes on Charles will announce “I'm passing my title on to William”? Seems to me that that would be a smart move and a rather popular one.

Yes. I have never read a Q thread for example. Not interested

People will click & read things they’re interested in or have a passing interest in .... that’s the whole idea! :-)

I really don’t know why Harry is even there. Other than he wants the “money shot” of queen and the baby.

They sent her sister Margaret to endure LBJ. Margaret got the diplomatic short straw on that one!

Oh I doubt it! He has been waiting for this chance to become King for decades! And Camilla wants it as badly as he does! That’s why she was after him years ago even before Diana came along.

The faces of the people looking at him have been hilarious..like something stuck on their shoe. There was a woman sitting behind him that couldn’t help look at him in one video. She tried not to but couldn’t hide her displeasure

Everyone should be worried meg had a hidden mic under that coat

Not possible without an Act of Parliament in all of the Commonwealth realms. And Charles would never do that to his son.

Yes I’ve seen speculation she did. They don’t see to be very loved over there

We have photos of Obama bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, the Japanese Emperor, China’s Big-Dong-Chink, and honoring Che Guevara.

Did he bow or similarly honor Queen Elizabeth II?

I can’t remember but I do remember his wife put her arm around the Queen and touched her in a breach of protocol (not meant to do this) the Queen laughed it off...

Don’t get self-rigtheous with me. Self-righteousness is just a phony form of respectability.

I have no love for the English crown.

Sorry to chime in once more, but could anyone tell me why Her Majesty never officially welcomed President Johnson in a state visit?

Had there been any disagreements between both Heads of State?

P. S.: maybe this is a stupid question, but I am a stupid foreigner after all.... :-(
