Queen Elizabeth Gives President Bush "A Look Only a Mother Could Give" : GlobalGiants.com
The Queen and President George W. Bush celebrated the ties between Britain and America in the grandest dinner of his tenure at the White House.
At a joint appearance before the lavish affair, President Bush said that The United States was a nation the Queen “had come to know very well”, he said. “After all, you’ve dined with 10 US presidents. You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 - 1976.”
Turning back, Mr Bush prompted the Queen to laugh as he said with a smile: “She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.”
