October 23, 1958
President and Mrs. Eisenhower today hosted a lunch for Queen Frederika of the Hellenes and two of her children, Princess Sophia and Crown Prince Constantine. The royal party arrived yesterday and will be in Washington, D.C., for four days. The "elaborate, formal luncheon" took place in the state dining room.
In his welcome speech, the President, who is running for re-election, noted this was the second time he had welcomed Queen Frederika to the White House. In 1954, the queen had accompanied her husband, King Paul, for a state visit to the US.
The Queen, 41, told her host that she was delighted that Constantine and Sophia are able to see the US.
The 80s guests drank California sherry before sitting down to lunch.
