Our Queen is such a polite woman. She has to meet all sorts, and she still remains gracious.

I am an American and I want to say that HRH Queen Elizabeth II is the most classy, sophisticated, and regal person on the planet. If I could meet one person on this Earth before I die, it would be her. God Save The Queen, Long Live The Queen! ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Despite all the bitter rumors, the Queen and the President and family were welcomed warmly by the Royal Family. The Queen is such a classy lady! Melania, Kate and Ivanka also looked very regal and officially Royal! Kudos to the ladies!

Interesting her voice has not changed since 1952!!

Loved the ‘I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you buddy’ Eisenhower name drop.

The Queen is the most gracious of hosts! President Trump and First Lady were spectacular and humbled for the occasion of the D Day anniversary! Our countries are the best of allies!

God bless America. Our first lady is very classy.

The Queen represents the good people of the UK and not those who claim to represent us.

President Trump was with Mr "Sand Man ".
Queen Elizabeth as always has been a great speaker.What a lovely LADY.

I cant imagine the world without her!!! She is a true, global, icon!!!

As multiculturalism takes over Britain and our traditions and values are deemed offensive by the invaders, I feel the Royal Family are all we have left that makes us British. ❤💙

would love to see some appreciation for the SubContinent War heroes as well who played the biggest part in the victories! God Save The Queen... Namaste from India!

Safe travels back home President Trump and First Lady Melania 🇱🇷

[eidolon]

Wonderful to hear her Majesty being so pointed about political alliances being essentail to maintaining world peace! Let's hope Trump heard and absorbed it. He seemed in a trance unless he was mentioned specifically.

HRH Harry showed his lack of class. He also made a political statement on his wife's behalf. Big No No for Royals.
