King Charles Just Revealed the Meaningful Coronation Gift He Received from President Biden
When King Charles was crowned on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden joined world leaders representing the U.S. at the service. And now it has been revealed that President Biden and the First Lady gave the King a particularly personal memento as a gift for the occasion. Per Buckingham Palace, the U.S. couple gifted King Charles a 'leather folder containing printed letters between Queen Elizabeth II and President Eisenhower inviting him to the United Kingdom, with a photograph of the visit.' Details of the thoughtful present were revealed by the Palace today as it made public official gifts received by members of the royal family between 2020 and 2023. President Eisenhower hosted Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip at the White House during their first State visit to the US in 1957. His return visit to the UK, along with First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, in 1959 was notable as to date it remains the only time a U.S. President has been hosted at Balmoral Castle. That could change if President Trump meets King Charles at the Scottish castle later this year. No details of what were in the letters was shared by Buckingham Palace today. However, a letter from Queen Elizabeth to President Eisenhower after the visit has previously been made public. In it, she sent him a recipe for drop scones which she said she had promised she would do so following his stay at the castle. Other gifts received by the royal family from President Biden were also revealed today. In July 2023, when King Charles welcomed President Biden to Windsor Castle, the President brought cufflinks and a jar of honey from the White House gardens. In June 2021, when Queen Elizabeth welcomed President Biden and the First Lady to Windsor Castle, they brought an engraved specially commissioned Tiffany sterling silver box and a floral brooch. The extensive list of gifts received by King Charles for his coronation included a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II from the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, and his and hers perfumes called Charles R and Camilla R from J.
