11. Biden’s Balmoral Bond
In 2021, President Joe Biden’s visit to Windsor Castle for tea with Queen Elizabeth II was a masterclass in balancing formality and friendship. The encounter combined precise royal protocol—complete with an honor guard inspection—with genuine conversation and warmth. Their relaxed tea on the castle’s terrace highlighted not only personal rapport, but also the enduring strength and continuity of the U.S.-U.K. alliance.
