It is believed that U.S. President Ronald Reagan was one of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II's favorite presidents. The former actor died in 2004 at age 93.
When President Reagan invited Queen Elizabeth II to spend time with his family, he was determined to win her over. It was 1983 and Britain’s reigning monarch took up the president’s offer of a 10-day semiprivate tour of the West Coast, which was a 'long-held ambition' of hers. It was during her trip that she and husband Prince Philip visited the Reagans’ California ranch where she feasted on Mexican food for the first time, a favorite of Reagans.
There were enchiladas, chiles rellenos, refried beans, tacos, rice and guacamole,' David Charter, author of 'Royal Audience,' told Fox News Digital. 'She absolutely loved it, especially the refried beans,' he chuckled. 'She told one of Reagan’s guys, ‘I really love this meal, especially the used beans.’ She hadn’t quite gotten the name of it, but she certainly enjoyed it and made it well-known to everyone there.
According to the outlet, the queen had four meals on a typical day, including afternoon tea. For breakfast, she preferred a bowl of Special K with a boiled egg alongside a cup of tea. Other meals throughout the day consisted of a compound salad, pheasant, venison, other lean meats, and fish, as well as a pudding and sliced fruit for dessert. But it was in America where the queen could let her hair down – in her way.
According to Charter, diplomats worked frantically as the palace objected to Jackie’s requested guests. In turn, Jackie objected to the objection. Reportedly, it was Kennedy who stepped in and told the palace 'not to bother about us, we’re here unofficially.' While the palace relented on the Radziwills, the two royals Jackie wanted to meet were not, which was viewed as 'a nasty surprise' to the puzzled first lady.
Today, Charter hopes his book will introduce a new side to the late queen. 'She made it part of a lifelong duty to keep Britain and America as close as possible,' he said.
