    “The president and the first lady have always been very fond of her (the Queen) and when they learned that she had a very close relationship with her father and that she collected everything that had anything to do with him, we knew we had found a perfect gift for her,’ Capricia Penavic Marshall, who was the White House chief of protocol, told People magazine.
