2. Queen Nixon?
The Queen met the famously socially awkward Richard Nixon long before he moved into the White House back in 1957 when Nixon, then Vice President to Dwight D. Eisenhower, acted as a tour guide for the Royal couple as they toured Washington D.C. They would meet one more time while he served as VP, but it wouldn’t be until 1969 when they were both world leaders that Nixon would be a little more forthcoming in their relationship.
The story of what happened wouldn’t come to light until three decades later when Prince Charles and his new wife Camilla visited then-President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush at the White House. The Prince joked that the Bushes had better not try to fix up their twin daughters with his sons William and Harry saying, “That was the time they were trying to marry me off to Tricia Nixon,” the First Daughter.
