Queen to meet US President Joe Biden and First Lady at Windsor Castle in June
The Queen will meet US President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr Jill Biden at Windsor Castle later this month, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The monarch is set to meet with the pair on Sunday, June 13, as they travel to the UK for the G7 summit.
It's the first time the Queen will meet Biden in person since he was elected to office in November last year, in a result repeatedly falsely contested by then-President Trump.
The monarch sent a private message to Biden following his inauguration in January.
