The monarch's last meeting with a US president was with Donald Trump in June 2019, which saw the Trumps attend a state banquet at Buckingham Palace alongside members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The Bidens are no stranger to royalty and have struck up a sweet friendship with Prince Harry over the years.

Jill later travelled to London to cheer on the US team at the inaugural Invictus Games in 2014. The Bidens and the Obamas continued to support the event, with Harry involving his grandmother, the Queen, in a hilarious Twitter exchange for the 2016 Games in Orlando.

Harry was seated next to the Bidens as they watched the wheelchair basketball event in Orlando, with the Vice President joking at the time: "Jill went to London for the last Games. She spent too much damn time with Prince Harry!"

It's not known if other senior royals will attend the meeting with the US President alongside the Queen on 13 June.
