The 95-year-old monarch will meet with the president and the first lady, Jill Biden, at Windsor Castle, about 50 km west of London, where she has been retired since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.
Elizabeth II, who received her second dose of the covid-19 vaccine at the end of March, has since held most of her meetings virtually, including hearings with foreign ambassadors.
This will be her most prominent official engagement since presiding over the opening of the parliamentary session in London on May 11, which was her first public appearance since the funeral of her husband, Prince Philip.

This will mark the start of Biden’s first international tour since he arrived at the White House in January.
