The Queen of England, Elizabeth II

American presidents melt in the presence of royalty, almost defying the fact that our nation was born by overthrowing the crown. Why is it from Harry Truman, her first president, to Joe Biden or less, neither one of which would seem to be royalists or aristocrat lovers? I think it, at my own guess, is there two reasons. One is presidents are almost innately interested in history. Elizabeth, even as a princess, was an embodiment of history. She embodied the state. That was her job.
