After a journey that celebrated the American people in their 250th year and the enduring strength of the relationship between the United Kingdom and United States, Their Majesties’ State Visit has come to a close. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
From an Embassy Garden Party to the White House and the halls of Congress, followed by moments of remembrance, community, and connection in New York and Virginia, this visit reflected the breadth and depth of a partnership rooted in shared values, shared history, and shared ambition.
Their Majesties’ engagements told a story of friendship between our nations and our people. From security and industry to creativity, service, and the great outdoors, this State Visit showed why we are #GreaterTogether.

“I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service.”
On her 21st birthday in 1947, Queen Elizabeth II pledged to devote her life to the service of her people. She remained true to her word – undertaking official duties up until her final days.
Tomorrow would have been her 100th birthday. Ahead of events to mark the anniversary, we look back on Her late Majesty’s life and work.
Today we remember Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was born one hundred years ago, #onthisday in 1926.
As a royal church, Westminster Abbey had a special relationship with the Queen. Over the course of her life, she came here often for state occasions and national services, and some of the most important moments of her life took place here.
This is so sad. One of my favourite actors. ‘Best In Show’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek’ both classics. I had the honour of having Catherine and her lovely husband stay at @AlthorpHouse 3 years ago. She was utterly delightful - and so modest. RIP. https://t.co/9uUPP75m5V
