The British monarchy and government have been busy this week, rolling out the red carpet in a charm offensive to win over President Joe Biden and other top U.S. officials in Cornwall for the G7 summit.

Biden re-affirmed the "special relationship" between America and the United Kingdom, and has pledged to rebuild ties with traditional allies which frayed in four years of President Donald Trump in the White House.
