\"Arrival<\/p>\n

Today, Queen Elizabeth becomes the longest serving British Monarch, surpassing\u00a0her great grandmother Queen Victoria. \u00a0Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II first came to Washington D.C. as Princess Elizabeth in 1951 with his Royal Highness, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and stayed with President Harry Truman and his family at Blair House. \u00a0She returned in October 1957 for a State Dinner as the Queen during the Eisenhower Administration. \u00a0Although she hosted several first families in the United Kingdom, it was\u00a0not until 1976 that she returned to the White House for a State Dinner with the Ford Administration. \u00a0Since Ford, she met with every first family in Great Britain hosting them with formal dinners, tours and more. \u00a0She did stay with\u00a0President\u00a0and Mrs. Reagan in California in March of 1983. \u00a0Her next\u00a0trip to the White House was for a State Dinner with\u00a0President George H.W. Bush and Mrs. Bush on May 14, 1991. \u00a0Her most recent trip to the United States was under the George W. Bush Administration. \u00a0To celebrate the 450th Anniversary of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited the White House on May 7, 2007.<\/p>\n
