History

Historical Context

In 1957 Queen Elizabeth II made her first U.S. state visit, meeting President Dwight D. Eisenhower, addressing the United Nations and opening the Canadian Parliament, establishing a post-war Anglo-American diplomatic pattern. Over her reign she completed 113 state visits, the most for any British monarch. The planned 2026 tour by King Charles and Queen Camilla, set to meet President Donald Trump, echoes that historic royal diplomacy.
