Biographer Tom Quinn claims that Michelle Obama is adored by Queen Elizabeth II. The former First Lady and the British monarch were said to have had a “soft spot” for Americans ever since they first met in 2009. In 2015, the Queen received a beautiful gift from the former First Lady, strengthening their long-standing friendship.

Michelle sent Queen Elizabeth II a jar of homemade honey butter from the White House garden, two little jars of honey, a candle, a silver honeycomb vase from Tiffany & Co., and lemon verbena tea. In addition to being a fantastic digestive aid, lemon verbena tea helps ease anxiety and tension—two emotions that a world leader is sure to encounter.
