STORYLINE:
US President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush welcomed the British Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip to the White House on Monday for the fifth state dinner of the Bush presidency.
The Queen's visit to Washington comes towards the end of a six-day trip, the Queen's fifth to the United States in 50 years, but her first since 1991, when Bush's father (George Bush Senior) was president.
Laura Bush helped the queen from her car and the four ascended the White House steps, pausing shortly for waiting media to take photographs.
Inside, President Bush, the First Lady, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Philip paused for cameras a second time before heading into the dining room.
"Together we're working to build a world in which more people can enjoy prosperity, security, and peace," Bush said in his dinner speech.
"Friendships remain strong when they are continually renewed, and the American people appreciate your majesty's commitment to our friendship," he added.
The British monarch said the two countries must remain united.
"Administrations in your country and governments in mine may come and go, but talk we will, listen we have to, disagree from time to time we may, but united we must always remain," Queen Elizabeth said.
The White House laid on special touches for Bush's first-ever white-tie state dinner to honour America's closest ally and make the queen feel welcome.
The centuries-old vermeil flatware and candelabras came from a London silversmith, a made-of-sugar replica of the queen's 1953 coronation rose graced the cake and English farmhouse cheeses accompanied the salad course.
The traditional "special guest" invited only at the last minute was sure to be of interest to an avid horse enthusiast such as the queen.
It was Calvin Borel, the jockey who rode Street Sense to victory in the Kentucky Derby this weekend with the royals in attendance.
Advanced coordination kept the First Lady and the queen's attire from clashing.
Mrs. Bush wore an aqua creation by Oscar de la Renta with rhinestones, silver beading and a bolero jacket, while the queen had a cream gown with a sparkling bodice, a blue sash, long white gloves and a diamond tiara.

Royal title changed to Victoria Empress in 1877 (1884 coin shown here)
British trading posts in the Indian subcontinent were first established by the East India Company (EIC) early in the seventeenth century, which quickly evolved into larger colonies covering a significant part of the subcontinent. Early settlements or factories included Masulipatnam (1611) and Madras (1640) in the south, Surat (1612) in the west, and modern-day Kolkata (1698-99) in the east.[2][3] These colonies gave rise to Madras Presidency, Bombay Presidency, and Bengal Presidency, and each Presidency had a separate coinage and monetary system. In time, the EIC adopted a unified system of coinage throughout all British possessions in India and the older Presidency system was discontinued. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, control of EIC territories passed to the British Crown.[4] Coinage issued after 1857 were under the authority of the monarch as India became part of the British Empire. With the Royal Titles Act 1876, Victoria took the title "Empress of India", so in 1877 coin inscriptions changed from Victoria Queen to Victoria Empress. There was a transition period after India gained independence on 15 August 1947, and the first set of republic India coins were issued in 1950.
Right out of The Naked Gun
Protecting the Queen's safety is a task that is gladly accepted by Police Squad. No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us, as Americans, we must be gracious and considerate hosts. 🤣

Why bush doesn't drink 🍷? Was he worried?
President Bush is an alcoholic. He has stated freely how he battled addiction.
He has stated that he doesn’t drink anymore due to struggling with alcohol at an earlier age.
