    She met 13 US presidents in total, including:

    • Harry Truman: She stayed with him at Blair House before she became queen

    • Dwight Eisenhower: She was hosted by him and First Lady Mamie Eisenhower at the White House

    • Gerald Ford: She danced with him

    • Ronald Reagan: She shared a bond with him over their love of horseback riding





  • Visited the US multiple times
    She made six official trips to the US, including four state visits and five state dinners. She also made many private visits, often to pursue her love of horse racing.



  • Strengthened the US-UK relationship
    She played a key role in enhancing the relationship between the two countries.



  • Showed solidarity with Americans
    She showed solidarity with Americans after the September 11 terror attacks.



  • Was a unifying force for American politicians
    Politicians loved having their photos taken with her.



  • Was seen as a reminder of noble principles
    Many Americans saw her as a reminder of the noble, just, and humane principles central to their inheritance from their mother country.
