#Presidents and Queen Elizabeth II
Text
"Her Majesty was our guest for the bicentennial celebration in the nation's capital. We had a most enjoyable evening. At a state dinner [at the White House], the President and the First Lady usually go down and greet the main guests, and then take them to the second floor for a few minutes of private conversation.
We took the Queen and Prince Philip to the elevator, and went up to the second floor. The door opens, and there's our son Jack standing without a shirt on, waiting to go up to the third floor. Mrs. Ford and I apologized to the Prince and the Queen, who smiled and said, 'Don't worry, we have one at home just like him.'"
-- President Gerald Ford, on an expected encounter between Queen Elizabeth II and the President's 24-year-old son, Jack, while hosting the British Royals for a State Dinner at the White House in July 1976.

William's ever guiding hand on Catherine's back. Always careful not to cause her to FALL down in those high heels.
Ladies: Do not hold hands while walking in high heels on the grass, carpet, or any uneven terrain because it will cause you to become unstable and potentially fall down.
Page 6 has a story praising Prince Harry's pda w/wife, while Prince William's manner towards Catherine was described as "cavalier."
Prince William even assisted Princess Catherine with the flowers while Harry refused to pry the flowers from the hands of his rebellious wife because he seems to be afraid of her.
Meghan grabs on to & hangs off of Harry to control him, we've even seen them play "tug of war." We've also seen that she doesn't know how to properly walk in heels, so there's that too.
Harry being the beta male and the Ahab to Jezebel, stood by and waited for staffers to intervene in the flower folly. If Harry refuses to instruct his wife about flowers, one can only imagine how he handles more important matters.
The Trump's received such vitriol for a viral social media moment in Israel when cameras showed Melania accidentally swat DJT's hand.
Melania is a real high fashion MODEL. She knows how to walk in very high heels and DJT's hand could not help her, it could have hurt her. DJT was on the red Carpet & Melania was initially made to walk slightly behind him & at times off the carpet. Watch the full video where he signals for her to catch up & stay on the red carpet with him & the Netanyahu's.
Here's a Dose of Common sense: Melania would never intentionally swat DJT's hand in front of cameras, but she would signal to DJT to just "KEEP IT MOVING."
DJT also kept slowing down while walking with QEii. QE was affording him the honor to walk AHEAD of her to inspect the guard. He didn't understand she was honoring him by slowing down, so he kept slowing down in an effort to match her slower stride. She even whispered & gestured, "keep going 🤣" [We also saw her tell MM "just get in!"] I actually don't think DJT was properly briefed on how to "inspect" the guard💂♂️
What do I know as an American, but Diana always briskly walked past the soldiers during inspection. DJT stopped to chat with the soldiers. What can I say he's the Crown's American-Scottish child.
She's such a tiny person & he's a big guy so there were a few times we could see him looking around like "where did she go? 🤭" Of course the media made a stink out of it and didn't explain the full context of the situation. They didn't care to research. And I suspect many of you will only see what you want to see as well. But always try to watch the full video to grasp the full context of any situation.
BTW for those who are determined to hate him no matter what, the Obama's have shared similar "just get in" stories from their own breaches of protocol & etiquette foibles committed with her majesty.

Interesting spin with this new PR Headline "MM thanks royal aides... 🧐

Elle avait en France un statut spécial et, dans le cœur des Français, une place singulière. Nul autre souverain étranger n’avait gravi le perron de l’Élysée plus souvent qu’elle, qui fit à la France l’honneur de six visites d’État, et rencontra chacun de ses présidents. Le français était pour elle, non seulement une ancestrale rémanence normande conservée en maints usages, mais une langue intime et chère. La reine aux seize royaumes aimait la France, qui le lui rendait bien. Le peuple britannique, l’ensemble des pays du Commonwealth ce soir pleurent la reine. Le peuple français aussi porte son deuil.
Celle qui côtoya les géants du XXe siècle sur le chemin de l’histoire s’en est allée les rejoindre. La République et le peuple français adressent à Sa Majesté le Roi, à la famille royale, au gouvernement de Sa Majesté et au peuple britannique le témoignage de son amitié séculaire et de sa tristesse.**
- Emmanuel Macron, Président de la République française.
President Macron went to the British Embassy in Paris to sign the condolence book and share his thoughts on the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. France was the one European country the Queen visited the most during her reign since she spoke French fluently and loved its culture and its arts. President Macron acknowledged this and gave thanks for her interest in his nation by giving his remarks (in english). It was a touching gesture.
**She held a special status in France and a special place in the hearts of the French people. No foreign sovereign has climbed the stairs of the Élysée Palace more often than she, who honoured France with six state visits and met each of its presidents. For her, French was not a mere relic of Norman ancestry that persisted in so many customs, but an intimate, cherished language. The Queen of sixteen kingdoms loved France, which loved her back. This evening, the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth are mourning their Queen. The people of France join them in their grief.
She who stood with the giants of the twentieth century on the path of history has now left to join them. The French Republic and the people of France extend their long-standing friendship and deep sorrow to His Majesty the King, to the Royal Family, to His Majesty’s Government and to the British people.

Do you have any idea why LBJ was the only president who Queen Elizabeth never met during her reign?
We just don't know! Even the @lbjlibrary has previously stated that they simply don't know why LBJ and the Queen never met.
It seems to be a quirk of bad timing -- or, really, several instances of bad timing. They almost certainly would have met if there happened to be any major state funerals in the United States or UK during when they were both serving as head of state. And two of the biggest state funerals of the 20th Century actually happened during that time -- President John F. Kennedy's in November 1963 and former Prime Minister Winston Churchill's in January 1965. But Queen Elizabeth II was pregnant with Prince Edward at the time of JFK's funeral and unable to attend. At the time of Churchill's funeral, LBJ was suffering from a really bad respiratory infection that had required him to be hospitalized the day before Churchill died. According to LBJ, White House doctors strongly advised that he not fly anywhere while recovering from his illness, so he did not attend Churchill's funeral -- and was heavily criticized for not doing so by the British and American press.
The Queen did not visit the United States while LBJ was President, and President Johnson didn't visit the United Kingdom during his term, so they just kind of missed each other. They corresponded and there was no known personal or political reason that they never met. LBJ and Lady Bird actually hosted a fancy dinner at the White House in 1965 for the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, and Margaret's husband, the Earl of Snowdon.
LBJ also didn't meet the Queen during his time as Vice President. Elizabeth II did not visit the United States at all during the Kennedy Administration, and President Kennedy's meeting with the Queen took place during a formal state dinner at Buckingham Palace in 1961, which the Vice President wouldn't have traveled to attend.
Interestingly, there is one possible time where LBJ and Queen Elizabeth II actually might have crossed paths, but there's no solid answer about it either way. In October 1957, the Queen visited the United States for several days and a state dinner was held in her honor at the White House by President Eisenhower. At the time, LBJ was the Senate Majority Leader -- arguably the second most powerful person in the United States. The LBJ Library has said that then-Senator Johnson was invited to the state dinner, accepted the invitation, and that the state dinner is on the schedule in his datebook from the time. However, unusually, there is no evidence that LBJ actually attended the state dinner. The LBJ Library says that it seems likely that he would have attended the dinner, but they've never been able to confirm it and, if he did attend, whether or not he met the Queen. But it seems likely that he would have at least been introduced to her if he attended the dinner considering his prominent position in Congress during the Eisenhower Administration. Again, we just don't know for sure.
Eventually, Lady Bird Johnson finally did meet the Queen, but it was 18 years after LBJ's death. In May 1991, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited the United States and, while they were in Austin, Texas, they took a trip to the @lbjlibrary where they met Lady Bird and the Johnson daughters.

Why did President Biden say ‘God save the Queen, man’ during Connecticut Visit?
President Biden ended his speech at the National Safer Communities Summit at the University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut on June 16, 2023 with the phrase “God save the queen, man.”
There are a few possible explanations for why Biden said this. One possibility is that he was simply making a joke. The phrase “God save the queen” is the national anthem of the United Kingdom, and Biden…
