Queen Elizabeth II, currently the world's longest-reigning monarch, met President Donald Trump for an official state visit to the United Kingdom on Monday.

Since 1951, the year before she ascended to the throne, the Queen has met with 12 US presidents and helped facilitate the US and UK's diplomatic relations.

Here's what the queen's relationships and meetings with US presidents have been like from Harry Truman to Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump has landed in the UK for the second time.

From June 3-5, the president and first lady will attend several distinctly British meet-and-greet opportunities, including tea with heir Prince Charles, a banquet at Buckingham Palace, a tour of Westminster Abbey, and a D-Day anniversary ceremony, most of which will be alongside royalty.

Queen Elizabeth II, who ascended to the throne in 1952 and is currently the world's longest-reigning monarch, has played a major role in facilitating the US and UK's "special" diplomatic relationship and has met with 12 American presidents at places including Buckingham Palace, the White House, and even a Baltimore Orioles game.

She traveled to Washington, DC for the first time to meet President Harry Truman in 1951 when she was a still a princess, and most recently hosted President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle when he visited England last year.

She never met Lyndon Johnson. Which is why it's not 13.
