Hello, Joe

Queen meets her 13th president

-

LONDON — Imagine trying to make an impression on someone who’s met, well, almost everyone.

Such is the challenge for President Joe Biden, who is set to sip tea with Queen Elizabeth II on Sunday at Windsor Castle after a Group of Seven summit in southweste­rn England.

Biden, accompanie­d by wife, Jill, became the 13th president to meet the monarch, making her acquaintan­ce Friday night at a reception that she and other royals held for leaders attending a summit of the seven largest economies.

The 95-year-old monarch has met every American president since Dwight Eisenhower during her nearly 70-year reign, except for Lyndon Johnson, who didn’t visit Britain while he was in office.
