Dwight Eisenhower

It’s said Her Majesty corresponded by letter for years with the

34th US president, even sharing with him her recipe for dropped scones. Their friendship began in 1957, when the Queen and Prince Philip made their first state visit to America. President Eisenhower and his wife Mamie visited Balmoral two years later, and were such fans of the Scotch pancakes served for breakfast that the Queen sent them her personal recipe.
