New guests! Queen Elizabeth will connect with President Joe Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, when the couple flies across the pond for their upcoming trip.
"The Queen will meet the President of the United States of America and First Lady Jill Biden at Windsor Castle on Sunday, 13th June 2021," a statement from Buckingham Palace, which was obtained by The Royal Observer, read on Wednesday, June 3.
No other details were released at this time, but they "will be shared in due course," the message read.
The President and his wife will visit the Queen at the end of the G-7 meeting, which starts on June 11 in Cornwall. During the summit, leaders from Germany, France and Japan will be in attendance, where they will discuss climate change and COVID-19 recovery.
President Biden, 78, will become the 13th American leader to come in contact with the 95-year-old matriarch.
Previously, press secretary Jen Psaki gave some insight into the President's upcoming trip.
“Who wouldn't want to meet the Queen?" Psaki said during a press conference. “We’re still finalizing what the details are of the trip … and we will have more to share as the final details are put together.”
Phil Dampier, who writes a column for The Royal Observer, previously revealed that the Queen has met every President in her 69-year reign.
The Queen has previously hosted former President Donald Trump and his family at Buckingham Palace in 2019 and also met with former President Barack Obama in 2016.
This will be the first major event for the Queen since her husband, Prince Philip, passed away on April 9. Despite the tragedy, the Queen has been working hard.
"Her family will step up and be by her side, but she will carry on," a former royal aide told PEOPLE. "She understands that she has a job to do, and [Philip] would have wanted her to crack on. She did do so when he retired from public life."
