The Queen has met almost every US president since her reign began in 1952, with the sole exception of Lyndon B. Johnson, who didn't visit Britain during his time in office.
Trump follows in the footsteps of previous Presidents to visit Windsor Castle, including Ronald Reagan in 1982, George W. Bush in 2008, and Barack Obama in 2016.
Windsor Castle holds a special significance for the royal family. The oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, it's one of Queen Elizabeth II's official residences. It's also said to be one of her favorite weekend destinations.
Windsor Castle was also the venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lavish royal wedding in May.
Ronald Reagan was the first US president to stay overnight at castle, and he made quite a splash. Reagan and the Queen went horseback riding on the grounds of Windsor Castle, while Prince Philip and first lady Nancy Reagan rode in a horse-drawn carriage.
Ronald Reagan awesomeness.
Just imagine Barry O trying to pretend he’s comfortable on a horse...
Thank you for thread. Here is another stream, hope it works: http://video.foxnews.com/v/5614615980001/?#sp=watch-live
He should publicly ask her how many of Obama’s speeches did she listen to on that iPod
Not sure if this live stream will work, says 3 hours from some unknown period in past https://youtu.be/lR3ad7cyFIQ
Please post photos or anything that's published on the visit today. Don't know the time, but I imagine it will be soon.
@realDonaldTrump
Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for peanuts, only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!

Oh, thank you...I should have posted this one...
The Queen has always preferred Conservative leaders... Socialism isn’t her style, so she will get along fine with the Donald.
I have a feeling that she, The Queen, will genuinely enjoy the tea.
I don’t have much use for the British royal family, but I wish the Queen many more years of good health, just so the UK can be spared the humiliation of having a human tampon as a monarch.
Will interesting to see what kind of hat Melania will wear.
Here’s a wonderful video of Reagan and the Queen. Check out Nancy’s attire.

He said with a wink and a nod! ;)
No problem. Fox one acts up for me, FWIW.
Damn! I should read the headline! I thought (I read) he was talking about May(be not)! My apologies to you, the President and the Queen!
He wasn't even comfortable on a bicycle!
Here’s How Every Meeting Between the Queen and a U.S. President Went

I could imagine the possibility of a future where England disbanded the monarchy. The guy running London is nuts, for starters.
At my age, Bill, I'm flattered that you'd ask.
But ...
NO!
