Queen Elizabeth will be meeting with President Joe Biden face-to-face in June and officials from the White House have confirmed that they are in the middle of the preparations.

Biden will be flying to the United Kingdom for his very first trip abroad as the president. He will be accompanied by First Lady Jill Biden, who will also be joining her husband to see the queen, according to CNN.

The president will be in the U.K. for the Group of 7 Summit, which will take place in the seaside town of Cornwall, which is about 16 minutes away from Windsor, where Queen Elizabeth has been staying since 2020. According to the report, Buckingham Palace is coordinating with the White House to ensure that their face-to-face meeting will be safe for everyone. An official announcement is expected to be released in the coming days.

The Biden couple was one of the first people to extend their sympathies to the queen and the royal family after Prince Philip passed away in April. The president and first lady are also good friends with Prince Harry as they are supporters of his event for former military servicemen, the Invictus Games. The Biden couple had a military son, Beau Biden, who died in 2015.

Biden and Harry have also teamed up to support the drive for equitable vaccination. Both personalities appeared in the recent Vax Live concert mounted by Global Citizen.

Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, was also one of the first people to congratulate Biden when he was sworn in as the new U.S. president after Donald Trump. Sources said that Her Majesty wrote to Biden before his inauguration.

The United Kingdom and the United States have always had a "special relationship," according to former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the queen's mentor. Biden will be the 13th President of the United States to meet with Queen Elizabeth during her long reign, beginning with President Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s.

The only American president she wasn't able to have a face-to-face encounter with was President Lyndon B. Johnson, who never made a state visit to the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth wasn't also able to fly to the United States for President John F. Kennedy's funeral due to her pregnancy with Prince Edward, thus she missed the chance to see Johnson.

During his time in office in the White House, Johnson met the queen's sister, Princess Margaret, who made a state visit to America, on behalf of Queen Elizabeth, with her husband Lord Snowden.
