Queen Elizabeth has met with three other U.S. presidents at Windsor Castle, including Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. In her reign, she has met 11 out of the 12 serving U.S. presidents, excluding President Lyndon B. Johnson. 

The meeting comes just one day after Trump arrived in London for his four-day visit. On Thursday, he met with British Prime Minister Theresa May at Blenheim Palace just outside of the capital city. 

The visit has been met with city-wide protests. On Friday, people took to the streets outside of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament as a part of a "Stop Trump" demonstration, which included a giant balloon designed to impersonate the president.
