US President Joe Biden along with his wife, the first lady of the United States of America, Dr Jill Biden met the Queen at Windsor Castle last week on Friday.
A BBC report stated that the visit included a Guard of Honour and afternoon tea with the monarch. Biden was reminded of his mother when he saw the Queen and he has invited her to visit the White House.
Biden was in the UK for the G7 summit in Cornwall, where leaders of the world's biggest economies have discussed issues including vaccines and climate change.
Mr and Mrs Biden met the Queen at the Eden Project during the G7 reception which she attended.
“The Bidens travelled from Newquay, Cornwall, on Air Force One to London's Heathrow Airport before taking the Marine One helicopter the short distance to Windsor. They were greeted by the Queen at the dais in the castle's quadrangle. A Guard of Honour formed of the Queen's Company First Battalion Grenadier Guards gave a Royal Salute, and the US national anthem was played,” a BBC report said.
The role of escorting a visiting head of state to inspect the troops was usually carried out by the Duke of Edinburgh, before he retired in 2017. Prince Philip died in April, aged 99, the report further established.
The meeting lasted for over an hour.
