Queen Elizabeth II beloved by U.S. Presidents

After 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II dead at 96

The longest-reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth II, met with 15-British Prime Minister’s, seven Roman Catholic Popes, and 13 sitting U.S. presidents during her lifetime.

She especially struck a string of cordial relationships that helped strengthen the ties between American and the United Kingdom.

She died Thursday at age 96.

According to Harry Truman, she “captured the hearts” of the American public.

Former President Barack Obama called her “truly one of my favorite people.”

Among the last 14 presidents, Lyndon Johnson is the only one whom she did not meet.

Awarded a medal by Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, for his work as an allied commander during World War II, Dwight Eisenhower welcomed her to the United States during her first “official” visit as Queen in 1957.

President Joe Biden and the First Lady Jill said in a statement released by the White House that “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era.”

“In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her,” the Bidens said.

“An enduring admiration for Queen Elizabeth II united people across the Commonwealth. The seven decades of her history-making reign bore witness to an age of unprecedented human advancement and the forward march of human dignity.”

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Published

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
