While there is no doubt that the first lady made a statement through her ensemble while meeting the 95-year-old Queen, it was the monarch’s outfit that stole the show.

Pictures of the Sunday meeting were shared on Instagram by the royal family. The caption of the official post read, “Today, The Queen received President Biden @potus and First Lady Jill Biden @flotus at Windsor Castle. Her Majesty has received 4 other Presidents of the United States at Windsor Castle in recent years.”

It added: “President Biden is the 13th serving US President to be met by Her Majesty. As Head of State, The Queen regularly speaks to world leaders and key diplomatic figures. The President and Dr Biden are in the UK for the G7 Summit. The Queen and Members of The Royal Family attended the G7 Leaders Reception on Friday. Her Majesty greeted The President and First Lady on the Dias as The First Battalion Grenadier Guards gave a Royal Salute and the US National Anthem played in the Quadrangle.”

Soon the comment section of the post was filled with praise for the Queen, who has recently lost her husband of 73 years Prince Philip. A user wrote, “the Queen looks fab in pink!!!” The second user posted, “The Queen looks so gorgeous.” The third mentioned, “Let's agree that Queen Elizabeth is a great queen.” “The Queen LOOKS ABSOLUTELY RADIANT! 🌸🌺🌸 LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!” one fan added.

We are so happy that our POTUS is no longer an international embarrasment.”
