President Joe Biden has revealed his reaction to meeting the Queen for the first time and having tea at Windsor Castle.

The Queen, who recently celebrated her birthing with the Trooping of the Colour, met President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, for the first time this week.

The Queen confirmed the massive news that they would be finally meeting, earlier in the month but it was tinged with heartache following the death of her husband Prince Philip. He accompanied her to many state occasions, including meeting President Obama.

The Queen and President Biden met as part of the G7 summit and had tea together at Windsor Castle. Biden has now revealed his surprising reaction to meeting her, in a video post by ITV reporter Lizzie Robinson.
