No reigning British monarch had ever been to the United States before
George VI's visit in 1939, just on the cusp of a new world war. History was in
the making when the King and Queen arrived at President Roosevelt's upstate
New York home, with a promise of politics, a picnic and hot dogs ...
... but the private life of the President provided a whole new dimension to an
epochal moment; at least in the memory of Margaret 'Daisy' Suckley, FDR's lover.
