Queen Elizabeth to meet President Biden at Windsor Castle
London (CNN)Britain's Queen Elizabeth will welcome US President Joe Biden to Windsor Castle on June 13 for their first one-on-one meeting, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday.
The monarch's meeting with Biden and first lady Jill Biden will come during the President's visit to the United Kingdom for the upcoming G7 summit, his first trip abroad since taking office.
It will be the Queen's first major meeting with a world leader since the death of her husband, Prince Philip, in April, and comes after a year in which most of her in-person engagements were shelved because of the coronavirus pandemic.
A plan for the two to meet has been in the works for several days, with the White House and the Palace in talks over logistics.
Over the course of her reign, the 95-year-old monarch has met with every US President except Lyndon Johnson.
In recent years she has curtailed her international travel, making visits with world leaders less common.
