Joe Biden to NBC News: The Queen reminded me of my mother – the look of her and just the generosity

After meeting the Queen at Windsor Castle on Sunday, US President Joe Biden told NBC News’ Peter Alexander that he had invited the Queen to the White House, and remarked that she had reminded him of his own mother. "I don’t think she’d be insulted, but she reminded me of my mother – the look of her and just the generosity," he said.

The meeting came after a weekend of talks between world leaders at the G7 summit in Cornwall, England.

According to RT, the US leader also stated that the Queen was interested in knowing more about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and that the pair had “a long talk.”

During her 70 years of sitting on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II has seen 13 US leaders take office, and met all of them except for Lyndon B. Johnson.

Biden, now 78, was only eight years old when Elizabeth, then still a princess, met her first US leader, Harry Truman, in 1951.

Former US President Donald Trump who met with the Queen in 2018 and again in 2019, also talked about the Queen's charm. He called the monarch "a great, great woman."

RT reported that Biden left the UK later on Sunday for a NATO summit in Brussels the following day. From there, he will travel to Geneva for a hotly anticipated meeting with Vladimir Putin. The Queen
