Regal and royal: When US presidents meet the Queen (PHOTOS)

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump met Queen Elizabeth on Friday at Windsor Castle in Windsor, England.

It isn’t the first time Elizabeth has meet with a U.S. president. Far from it.

In fact, she has met every U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower with the exception of Lyndon Johnson, who never visited Britain while in office.

Check out photos from the Queen’s many years of meeting and greeting.
