Queen Elizabeth II was a legend.

Queen Elizabeth II with U.S. Presidents. The longest serving monarch in British history met with 13 U.S. Presidents and 14 Prime Ministers. To pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, we will show some memorable photos of the Queen with U.S. Presidents. 

Only Lyndon B. Johnson never had an opportunity to meet the Queen. Franklin D. Roosevelt never met then Princess Elizabeth. Harry Truman did meet the princess.














President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden and the former presidents all reacted to the Queens passing.

Here's the latest from Twitter.

Queen Elizabeth II was the longest serving British monarch. She had reigned over the kingdom for over 70 years. She passed away at the age of 96 in Aberdeen, Scotland at her Summer residence. Her eldest son, Charles will be the new king.

King Charles III will be the oldest monarch to serve. He and Queen consort Camilla will take the reign as of now. The funeral planning for the Queen will happen soon.

Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, and their marriage lasted 73 years until his death in April 2021. They had four children: Charles III; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth—then 25 years old—became queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon (known today as Sri Lanka), as well as Head of the Commonwealth. Elizabeth reigned as a constitutional monarch through major political changes such as the Troubles in Northern Ireland, devolution in the United Kingdom, the decolonisation of Africa, and the United Kingdom's accession to the European Communities and withdrawal from the European Union. The number of her realms varied over time as territories have gained independence and some realms have become republics. Her many historic visits and meetings include state visits to China in 1986, Russia in 1994, the Republic of Ireland in 2011, and visits with five Popes.

Significant events include Elizabeth's coronation in 1953 and the celebrations of her Silver, Golden, Diamond, and Platinum Jubilees in 1977, 2002, 2012, and 2022, respectively. Elizabeth was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, and the second-longest verifiable reigning sovereign monarch in world history, only behind Louis XIV of France. She faced occasional republican sentiment and media criticism of her family, particularly after the breakdowns of her children's marriages, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the death of her former daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997. However, support for the monarchy in the United Kingdom remained consistently high, as did her personal popularity. Elizabeth died on 8 September 2022 at Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire.
