During his 1939 U.S. visit, King George VI embarked on a series of PR events: from becoming the first British monarch to honor the tomb of George Washington, to enjoying hot dogs for lunch.

So proud of FDR, knowing the pain and effort for years to be able to stand like this. How fortunate we were to have him at the time!

Just look at the crowds that turned out to see the king and queen of England. Americans have always been fascinated by the monarchy and these crowds show it. I thought the wreath laying at Mt. Vernon was touching. The king and queen cruised on the river on the USS Potomac, which is now berthed in Oakland, CA. I have taken two different cruises aboard her and it was a wonderful experience. ❤

King George was a serving navy officer, WWI. He ate his share of bangers and mash, sausage and mashed potatoes. A hot dog is just another kind of sausage.

I wonder what Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) thought about Sara Roosevelt and Eleanor? The dowager countess character in Downton Abbey reminds me of Sara Roosevelt's attitude as being a member of the old money and the landed gentry.

It's shocking to learn that it took till 1939 for a British Monarch to visit the US. I think George Vl was a more forward thinking Monarch for the 20th century. It also gave Queen Elizabeth ll early familiarity with America

Interesting that FDR was in his 7th year as President in 1939 and would go on to be re-elected in both 1940 and 1944. I'd have him ranked as the 3rd best president behind Washington and Lincoln.

Hi Smithsonian, The Royal family felt mocked and made fun of by serving hotdogs as a main course. Like Junk food gast food at a special dinner. Endearing was the official spin. Timeline KZfaq channel is much more accurate and opened source than the propaganda served up here.

@@frogmouth I never said that the British royals were affronted. I am sure that their people and Roosevelt's people made sure that they were well informed. After all back then hot dogs were just another form of sausage -- Brits are fond of sausage. Today's hot dogs are full of artificial stuff but back then hot dogs were just sausage.
