ATT00006Queen and Carter

ATT00007Queen and Ford

ATT00008Queen and Nixon

 

ATT00009Queen and Kennedy

 

ATT00010Queen and Eisenhower

AND…. a little bit more trivia thanks to GOOGLE!

 

Why did President Lyndon B. Johnson never meet Britain’s Elizabeth II, making him the only seated US President that the Queen did not meet during her reign?

 
 
I’m not sure if I’ll get in trouble for answering this without a specific linked reference, but I read once that it was just a matter of circumstance that their paths never crossed, and not a case of a specific foreign policy by either government, nor a personal issue. One can make a case that foreign policy might have played a small part though, but I KNOW speculation like that will get me in trouble so I’ll refrain from that.

The Queen would’ve assuredly met Johnson if she had attended JFK’s funeral, but she was pregnant at the time and could not make the trip. Prince Philip did attend and met Johnson. The subsequent birth of Edward in 1964 and the raising of her other children kept her from visiting abroad regularly in the 1960’s as much as other decades. She did not visit the U.S. between 1957 and 1976.

Johnson, a great traveler within the U.S., only occasionally took trips outside the country (unlike other Presidents) and never made a scheduled trip to Europe. Johnson was no foriegn policy expert, (same can be said for his British counterpart Wilson) and so he chose to focus his Presidency on domestic issues, with the notable exception of Vietnam, and look how that turned out lol.
