To the White House South Lawn this morning for what was an unmissibale opportunity to see Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and President Bush together. The President gave a splendid little address, underscoring the common intellectual thread of Anglo-American democracy, before making one of the classic faux pas, remarking that Her Majesty had been here in 1776. After a regally raised eyebrow, the President corrected himself and pointed out that Her Majesty had given him “a look only a mother could give a child.”

James Forsyth has the tale of the first time the President met Her Majesty.

Heritage’s Rob Bluey has the photos.
