Britain and the U.S. have long had what Prime Minister Winston Churchill called a “special relationship.” From adversaries to allies, the relationship between the two countries continues to evolve with each new government and administration. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, sat down with Dame Karen Pierce, the British Ambassador to the United States, to discuss this special relationship, the coronation of King Charles III, and the remarkable journey Dame Pierce has had to becoming the first woman to serve in the role of British Ambassador to the U.S.
